I've been 100% into collecting 1/6th for maybe 3 years now and I'm this close to saying fucking it all. I bought the InArt Joker knowing that he'd stand the test of time, but this is ridiculous. I'm mainly a Marvelfag and SWfag so these were always my main wants, but it's getting ridiculous. I still don't have a Strange because they haven't given him his proper cape. But I'm nearing a point where I'd rather buy 3-4 500-1k$ InArt figures per year, rather than play this HT game where I don't know when they'll randomly drop an update only to reveal the same thing a year later. I've got a General Kenobi on PO, but who's to say that they won't do a rooted Obi for RotS 20th? Will their rooted sculpts even look good? InArt can do it because they're releasing 2 figures per year and putting 4-5 for PO. HT is going hard at 70 POs and 50 releases per year.

I'm just tired. All I wanted when I got into this hobby were the basic SW characters, some one-offs and hoped that they'd make some X-Men figs and a couple of other Marvel characters. Now I've got to wait until 2028 or some shit for the X-Men movies to even start, let alone get going and give me the costumes I want.

Is anyone else from the 1/6th circle just wanting to go full InArt? Who knows, maybe by 2029 they'll have the Marvel/SW licenses too.
