>>6469417>My point is that fans should learn to branch out and stop shitting on toys just because "they weren't in my cartoons" or whatever.My point is toys have to sell. They have to be something people want to buy. Shelves full of literally whos don't make money, they make trash bin fodder. You folks who want Quake, well, nothing wrong with that. But you might as well wait, because damn sure he is going on clearance sooner or later because no one else is looking for the guy.
>I've learned that most Transformers collectors don't actually like good toys. They just like an old cartoon.Pic related. Possibly because thats what started the whole thing, and just like comics and movies and anything else, ANYTHING new is compared to the old and fans draw people to the original or best versions of the material. Those are the designs that sell best, that people want the most. A whole fucking industry has popped up to give people more of that, something that has never happened with any other toy line. You don't have chinese tripping over themselves to make all new super articulated MP Luke Skywalkers, but they're doing it for TF's.
It's really astonishing at this point people can be so dense and blind to what the fandom at large wants. It should've slapped you in the face the moment we started seeing the ultra cartoony MP's. Not liking it personally doesn't mean your opinion is the majority's, and it's obvious what the majority wants by seeing the newer Gen designs, the MP's, etc.
