>>10820995I know there will be a few people who would, there's also a few people who spend hundreds on an animation cel. But how many of those people are there? There's assuredly way more people who will say they'd be all over buying those fan favorites or things from beloved episodes, then when it comes time to actually order...
When you sell a $50+ figure, your chances of getting a whole cast of supporting characters are minimum. It comes with the territory. Japan figured this out ages ago where most of their collector's lines focus only on the most popular characters unless it's a truly big property like Dragon Ball..and even then Figuarts has yet to touch a lot of supporting cast members.
Super 7's stifled releases and mix of fan favorites and main characters works at most for a $20-30 range of figures( and that's quickly becoming less viable), trying to sell $50 itchy and scratchy robots before a complete family is a risk(and guess what? it turns out it wasn't worth the risk)
