>>6936966I'm not riding anyone's dick.
I've gone out to praise PAK's flawed ugliness for being almost perfect and i didn't even like all of SC's figures.
These companies deserve praise for what they did though.
And I'm not even singling out Bandai, because the insinuation is that 3209324 different companies will continue making Street Fighter toys. From Hasbro, to SOTA, to NECA, to JazWares, etc etc etc. People buy this shit up despite how poorly done they are and there's so many fans who do buy up every version, dumping the old shit, and we see the defenses for poorly done toys into this thread.
It weirds me out and i can't help but make light of the fact that people will praise shit the mediocrity of it all, if not defend it tooth and nail, just because it exists.
Undoubtedly, fans didn't just stop collecting at SOTA and people are undoubtedly rebuying the same characters over and over and over and over, because the SF fanbase seems to have a very long history (and growing smaller every year). Hence this talk of decades old SF games.
