>>6346197>Both are covered in fabrics.Those Iron Man figures must have the best fabric in the world to look like they're made of metal.
>4 inch lines are pretty much dead in mass retail The MM figures aren't mass retail though.
>the only lines that exist cater to diehard 4 inch collectorsYes, those are the current 4" collector lines and they cost $20-30.
>There is a reason Mythic Legions switched to a 6 inch scalePretty sure the main reason is He-Man collectors, who have appeared on /toy/ demanding their toys to be in ~1:12. 4H's forum is full of these people and were pretty vocal back then. The toys costing as much as they would in 4" is just A reason, an excuse. As shown and proven, there's a pretty substancial market for these $20-30 4" figures, enough that companies like Boss Fight can actually produce new waves without begging in a Kickstarter, unlike 4H.
>For people who grew up with $7-15 priced stuff it's pretty bad to pay $40 now.I grew up paying $2, but what does that matter? For imports since Revoltechs, they've always cost 3-4x more than western lines, despite not really being much better and sometimes worse than equivalent lines.
I have no problem in spending that 3-4x cost for well done figures. Sure, the value isn't there, but it never has been. I'm paying for the only way to get a well sculpted, well poseable figure. I'm not going to nitpick over the various things wrong with it, as nothing can ever be perfect, because they gave me exactly what i'd expect.
It's why i've actually considered the Sentinel line over the D-Arts.
If and when they do make a BAD figure, it's not because of the price, it's because the figure doesn't meet certain standards, like the Mega Man Legends figure being way too skinny.
