>>7079955Classic hawkeye was very eye grabbing over the current one, but he shelfwarmed, guess they wanted to see what potential he had, but then the newer one failed too despite new material for him
And remember, action figures, same shit, its akin to seeker to conehead retools, the point with those guys is backstory and "what's in" keeping them afloat, my hate with spider ham I admit isn't the gimped articulation but really the value for money, you've...seen how small he is, if you just wanted him alone you'd be a retard
But transformers are different, yes, same rules can apply but we've had characters like triggerhappy misfire (who had a little idw) and slugslinger prove a damn good design CAN work, and reviewers will happily voucher for them, if apeface and snapdragon had cool designs and transformations its not going to be people who know the characters to grab them, its going to be
>completionistthey will come regardless if good or shit
>"its looks cool"the impulse buyers, the kids, parents who think its nifty, they will be drawn IF they look half decent
>engineer fags/review suckersgive it a good transformation blown up with reviews, sponsored or not, and people might say "hay autistbotimus said its cool i like his opinion on this character, so im going to buy him on that merit alone"
>value for moneyMake it an appropriate class, time it for a sale, and it'll sell, right now in my area POTP inferno is shelfwarming, but I am part of a community that's watching for sales and there are enough of those who announced their patience to ensure all of the ones within the nearest 10 stores from me that mean those infernos will be gone, taking into account my past merits
Meanwhile spider ham's only merit is the fact he comes with the most crucial part of the build a figure portion of the wave and he would shelfwarm if not for that, I've spotted scalpers and those outright selling spider ham already because of that
