>>9560737Ah, i see.
And lots of shit doesn't sell because there's no real market for the product, because the fans don't give a shit about legos or whatever toyline that doesn't sell. Lots of shit fails despite a franchise being super popular. Go look at how badly Rogue One, Solo, TLJ, and.... whatever the last SW movie was called toylines sold. Despite making billions of dollars in theaters (ok, not Solo), a shit load of toys pegwarmed forever.
Saying it's the quality of products means nothing if there's no cross over in the markets, especially when a franchise like Star Wars is clear cut in showing what movies/characters actually sell as toys vs whatever characters are popular with just movie fans.
Like OP says, McFarlane Toy's sets make everything else look like shit. There's a reason why i bought a shit load of McFarlane legos sets despite not even buying LEGOs and only buying MegaBloks shit for the minifigures.
To say McFarlanes Toys sets only sold because of the license is pretty dumb, because even dumbshits would quit buying that shit up pretty fast if it was bad quality. The FNAF line was big enough to continue selling for at least 3 years, which means they had a lot of return customers. You can tell that the line petered out by the 4th year, because they stopped producing the bigger sets.
Picture very related, because CoD is stilll popular, while the MegaBloks line went from having $200+ sets to bare bone minifigure sets. MegaBloks quality actually went up over the y ears too, but that didn't matter, because whoever was interested in the building block sets just stopped buying them and newfags obviously dont care.
