>>10665330Don't you agree though?
Wouldn't you rather visit your supermarkets and toy stores and see racks of great value generic toys that look just as good posed on a shelf as piled up in a kid's toybox?
Adult collectors have messed up the toy market pretty badly, as companies know that your average 30-something nerd has significantly more to spend than your average 10yo kid, and there are more than enough of us to sway the market.
But adult nerds don't want chunky, imaginative toys with five articulation points, they want fragile little highly-poseable statues.
Adult nerds don't want to pay a dollar for a blind bag with a little two-colour plastic monster in them, they want to pay ten dollars for a little blind box with a professionally-painted statuette in them.
The line between adult collectables and kids' toys is too blurry now, and for someone like me that isn't really into any franchises, I just like cool toys that fit generic genres like sci fi, fantasy etc, the shelves now are just filled with branded consoomer shit.
