>>7726814>watch as i ignorantly continue twisting words and meanings around that i knew nothing about to fit my retarded unchanged world view as before That's pretty amazing, retard.
It's like arguing about a globe with a retard who thought the world was flat, and then showing him pictures of the world from outerspace, and instead of accepting the truth, the retard has to come up with an explanation of how that photograph fits his retarded view of how the world is flat.
Making $80 dolls and expecting to make a profit from selling 30-40 thousand figures is niche, because mainstream would be making all plastic figures for $20 in big box stores like Walmart. It doesn't matter if the characters are popular or not, because the product isn't being sold to the mainstream and the product itself isn't even popular.
The toy collector market itself is niche, because they're aiming at a small audience that can probably support a product into the low 100,000 units at most. This includes Japanese lines like Figma and Figuarts. Whereas something that isn't niche can sell millions.
Nevermind that Mezco One1:12 figures are using a cloth material that not all collectors like being used, so it's a niche within a niche.
