>>7912416>MP has pretty much been covered by 3P companiesSome, but most of them are just as much overpriced clusterfucks as Takara. You just have to be discerning when buying and do a lot of research, because a lot of 3P fanboys will largely gloss over or ignore some pretty major problems with molds. I only own a handful of 3P toys, but they rate among my most favorite figures in my collection, so there's that.
>>7912418Pretty sure that anon was just being hyperbolic.
>>7912424>I can enjoy children's toys a lot longerI often think about this. Sometimes I will be sparse on groceries so I won't feel bad about dropping an extra $40 on a figure here or there. The only time it triggers me is when I've been browsing threads at ThatFancyWebsite and have seen grown adults commenting that they hope their kids don't mind eating rice and beans for a week so they can afford MP-44 or whatever. Starve yourself for toys, but don't starve your damn kids.
