>>10207048I honestly don't know how the 'collecting community' pass this thing as collectible figures.
I get that some millennials collect their vintage ninja turtles for example, but I feel like this isn't it.
I'm a zoomer, and I've seen these things on the market since I was like 10. My parents bought me one or two back in the day and I have to say, they are nice toys to play rough with (it's like they are aimed at literal children right) but I wouldn't call them collectible at all.
These days everything regarding figures is expensive, but these things are still 25 bucks without taxes and 90% of them are mediocre or plain right bad and ulgy to look at, ugly mold color, ugly painting, ugly sculpt work, recycled bodies, inaccurate promos, almost all of the poses will look weird, etc.
I prefer saving up for, I don't know, a mafex? rather than buying a ML for 'the collection'.
These are literal toys for children that somehow found their actual market in grown ass men instead, otherwise they wouldn't put out these promotional images in black with pristine colors and shit as if they were some quality chinese plastic.
Perhaps it's just me, but if I wanted a collectible of a character I like and found out there was a ML of him or her, I wouldn't buy that crap.
Don't know how do snobs like AnthonysCustoms don't trash these things into oblivion.
