>>11049885I definitely forgive the poor design choices as part of the aesthetic or dont even notice them. The neon colours just activate my almonds. I think you're right, most old talent has moved on and the industry has just been ruled by marketing and margins too long. They're confused who they're even making toys for anymore (besides shareholders).
I dont know how well the waves and waves of vintage/re-release stuff does but it doesnt interest me in the slightest as a vintage collector and seems pretty hit and miss here. The old toys have a certain charm and history that can't be replicated and it's nice to be able to preserve items from that era. It's also a matter of 10k into the secondary market being almost an investment vs almost flushing the money down the toilet on questionable quality modern items. Maybe if they released some figures in the same style and colours as the original releases but upscaled/reproportioned a bit, aimed at collectors, decent sculpts, modern articulation, paint apps etc. Ill buy Transart Transformers to go my Beastwars stuff because it's exactly that.
Give me Krangs android body with a shitload of articulation.
