Quoted By:

Playmates figures with extremely outdated articulation and scaling outside the 2 major scales for toy releases was so fucking stupid. Like how hard is it to come close to either 1:12 or 1:18.

For Super7 nobody has any hope that they can print their faces decent so why the fuck would you preorder, better to wait and see.

It's funny because the Super7 ones don't need good articulation because it's Star Trek, and the accessories were fun and they started the whole thing showing they'll do some oddball choices if successful
But theyre too expensive, have long monkey arms, bad branding means I personally don't trust Super7 anymore, and they aren't gonna make Woopie Gulpburp so no full cast so who cares

Quoted By:

S7 has not made a single good likeness of a real person. Their closest is probably the thulsa doom from conan and I think a lot of that is simply that james earl jones has an extremely recognizable face. I really don't believe that face printing will save them from their shiny unpainted plastic washing out all detail. I would have considered buying the TNG stuff if it somehow turned out well and had a chance of continuing, but it seems neither will be happening.

I really doubt it, I just think they need to be more realistic with how much shit they try to pump out. they'll just start carving out waves.

>regularly cancels/shorts orders

Playmates is terribly unreliable. They brought any "poor sales" on themselves.

They just got a shitton of money and are starting to be carried by retailers like walmart and best buy. They aren't going anywhere yet. Hopefully they are finally starting to realize you can't keep putting out shit product forever and ignoring feedback though, because its clearly biting them in the ass these days.

saw this coming lightyears away. The reason why Star Wars is ongoing is because it's about robot aliens vs laser swordsmen. Star Trek has always been about normal guys who just discuss things with normal aliens and are just plain untoyetic altogether

Trek licensing is always retarded. I have yet to uncover an answer as to why kits of Discovery ships nobody asked for got made but there hasn't been a whiff of any Dominion ships fucking EVER.

desu even star wars is on its way out. aside from both franchises suffering from major burn out and poor sterwardship you cant just keep selling the same dozen characters to an actively aging market. the quality of the sequels, spin offs, and tv shows aside both franchises have failed to capture any new markets for years now. Star Wars' last gasp was with prequel zoomers and they've even fucked that up. Star Trek pissed off what few fans it had left ages ago. Theres nowhere to go but down

Star Trek is one of those things like Ghostbusters and He-Man where Boomers and Gen X just can’t accept that it’s dead.
