>Not at retail where it matters, only at specialty websites.Retail doesn't matter much anymore unless it's strictly children's toys, figures with poor online distribution(Hasbro), and figures with dodgy paint apps(Hasbro, NECA, and so on). That especially goes for premium figures that are readily available online with few QC issues.
>What's more important, a smaller website buying a product from a toy company, or a major retailer buying the figures to have in stores?The smaller websites are becoming big websites and people aren't relying on major retailers anymore. That's a big factor in TRU dying in the first place.
And that's not even relevant here when we're discussing japanese imports which are already sold at retail in their home country. Imports are a bonus to the bottom line.
>memes like extra handsSentinel tried cutting back on """memes""" with their Megaman.EXE and people were later dropping $60 on a small figurine just so they could get the "extra" open hands.
>they'll lose in a drawer somewhere Most of us use tackleboxes and small sterilite organizers.
>overly articulated figures that may not even look goodIf you're not buying action figures to pose them you're better off buying PVCs and statues. Unless you're poor, which is perfectly fine, but it sounds like you're doing mental backflips to feel better about it.
>Then they justify it as being an import despite that Hasbro's new face printing technology will make imports obsoleteHasbro's using their new face printing technology on heavy rubber figures that warp under their own weight like old revoltechs, with awkward neck articulation, and giant bolt-holes through the joints so little Johnny can't easily amputate Spider-Man. I buy Marvel Legends occasionally and collected Universe before then, so don't try to spin that as bias.
>and there's already Neca for the restNECA makes crap that's broken and accidentally glued in the package. And they're about to go under anyway.
