If Hasbro, Mattel, McFarlane, Jada, Jazwares, Spinmasters, and Jakks, were charging as much as Japanese companies did, every thread on /toy/ would be like OP.
Look at this chintzy crap that's going for $30. Can you imagine if every single ML or MCFarlane figure were $30? /toy/ would be raging and the toy industry would be in jeopardy. But for Japan? It's Sunday and they're going to walk to their corner drug store for more lube.
The worst thing about this price is that Japanese consumers are actually worse off than Americans and Europoors, so to them, it's not actually "$30", but the equivalent of $46 (not even taking into account the fact their jobs pay less).
Nevermind this is the equivalent of a Spinmasters or Jakks Pacific figure in terms of quality. That's stuff no one actually likes to talk about on /toy/, because they're so shit. The collector shit is the actual butt rape prices.
forgot my pic
>>11205590I'm not ignoring economies of scale, because a lot Japanese collector lines (SHF, Playarts, Figma, etc) have official distribution in the US too and they still require you to get fucked in the ass..
Just shows how ignorant you are and can only come up with dumbshit excuses.
