>So if you want to see more of what you like, always buy that product when it first comes out. Don't wait, even if you believe you can get it on clearance later or when your next local niche store goes out of business and is selling everything for next to nothing.>>5973079I think it was mostly hits, because they actually built new bodies more often for that scale than fucking MLs have since they first started.
>>5972906>Until Americans feel comfy paying $50-80 a figure like Japan does, this is what the industry balance is at.Nope.
We're already seeing toys that are much higher quality and using far more expensive features like Mezco's One:12 scale, and those have cost $60-70.
Toy Biz used to produce very high quality with feature rich figures for child's action figure prices. McFarlane did too until recently.
Then you have DCC and NECA producing highly detailed, extremely well painted figures for about $25, which rivaled Japanese figures. NECA themselves will produce figures at more than their normal cost when it's required. Same with DCC.
As already mentioned, DCC is producing even higher articulated figures than Icons with the same quality of paint jobs as the designer series for $40.
Japanese prices are just rip offs and not balanced at all.
