The road to recovery is first admitting that nothing made by a domestic company is an "adult collectible", but was intended for children. There are no exceptions to this rule believe it or not. If you are ok with this thats fine, but its something you must admit.
The second is that any import is better than its domestic counterpart. people will try to find weird exceptions with dishonest comparisons. The truth is import companies have so much more freedom with what they can make. Theres a price arguement, but its unfair to compare socioeconomic factors. just compare figure to figure.
The third is that bootlegs are based. from Transformers Oversized KO, to snail shell, to Mafex, bootlegs serve an essential function when done well and we need more of them. I personally love my oversized titans return figures. yes this includes 3rd party. they are technically bootlegs, but also good bootlegs are based so do not feel ashamed or discouraged
The fourth is to collect what you want. do not collect figures because they are popular or rare. buy what you actually want.

Follow these principles /toy/ and you will achieve enlightenment.
