>>11204509>if a toyline from a shitty movie sells poorly, it's not because no one wanted shitty designs from a shitty movie, it's because... because...I'm at a lost at your logic train. SHF-tier copies = bankrupt?
wut?
Let's ignore than DC Direct is still running, thanks to McFarlane knowing they're profitable
Let's also ignore that the DCC SHF-tier line was canceled almost 6 years before DC Direct was put on the chopping block by WB.
But WB is a penny pinching conglomerate. They have accountants who worked out the math that selling mid-10k units of SHF-clones was profitable for only $9 more than your standard Marvel Legend. Unfortunately, the line sold like shit, because all of DC's movie shit is shit.
Sorry, but Japan just likes to fuck their fanboys up the ass if they want any sort of toy better amde than their dog chew toys. Pic related. 4" figures that cost $20, when Hasbro was making better articulated figures with more paint for only $9
>>11204482Revoltechs used to cost $24 when they were launched in the mid-00s. They had less articulation than Marvel Legends and were smaller too. Marvel Legends back then cost $8.
Japanese companies know their fanboys will pay out the ass for collector shit, hence marking up their prices to Apple levels of greed. Even companies like China are copying Japan, despite having worse QC, like Joytoy.
