>>9826552McFarlane did 7" just to stand out. It's what he does. IS it shit? I guess, but it's working out for them.
Super7 is literally 7" because that's how that market goes and has been for about two decades. Nevermind there might be some licensing rules in there too, like how Hasbro is making 6" GI Joes and wouldn't want anyone else to compete with their sales. Who really knows without looking at their contract, because sometimes just being sold in direct market stores is enough to keep their sales from overlapping.
>I just think the stuff they make is god awfulThey can make some brilliant stuff. Their TMNT can do shit that a lot of lines have failed to do for 30 years and why i consider a lot of import lines to be rip offs, since the paint, articulation, sculpt, etc is some god tier shit for not a lot of money.
Stuff like heroes of the storm were just OKAY. They had some movie replica-quality paint jobs, but articulation was MEH. Amazing display figures nonetheless.
Other stuff, like their overpriced MEGO-wannabe figures but cost $40? Pretty shit.
And i have almost nothing from Diamond. A few things here and there. They make some nice stuff, but as i said, i don't really collect in that scale.
