I miss being into toys.

>own everything i want that released before i got into collecting
>figmas etc. have doubled in price since I started collecting
>smaller variety of franchises coming out with cool figures, now its all just Marvel and boatshit/fateshit
>every other figure is an exclusive and a pain in the ass to acquire

Who else feels this way? I'm nearly out of this hobby these days. I miss it though.

I'm in a similar boat that a lot of the lines I used to enjoy have become mostly Marvel, higher cost with lower QC or even just stopped altogether.

I'm viewing it as a positive though as it's allowing me to in a sense do a full reset on what I buy. I'm looking more into the smaller lines and focus on getting the couple of figures I do want instead of trying to collect a full team made up of figures I'm not that interested in anyway.

Having that extra money aside is just a big positive for me in the end though.

Happened to me a while ago too. None of the newer animes interest me so I haven't considered getting any figmas, and like you said they're really overpriced and their online shop version gets even more expensive.

Whats getting me back in are new 1/12th clothed figures, also 1/18th stuff.

I hate how many decent figures there are of this faggot when none of the characters from good Metal Gear games have any.

Except I'm not implying something being popular automatically means it's good but you are saying something being popular automatically means it's bad, you hipster piece of shit

Same.. I blame a few things
>growing up, more mature spending habits
>lack of space to accommodate more crap
>Hasbro's CHUG line of Transofrmers peaked briefly
>disillusioned with Gunpla, too fragile, too time consuming - it's a great zen activity, but I have other ways to get the same kind of peace, while Gunpla takes away from them to get an objectively lesser toy in its durability and playabiltiy
>Robot Damashii line has become more expensive and more Exclusive and DLC happy
>general upwards trend in the value of toys I collect, forcing further contemplation and planning of purchases and less impulsiveness

I just started with Metal Builds/GFFMC, last year maybe when I can justify it I'll grab some of the cooler Masterpieces too (MP-10 for sure). I almost decimated my Deluxe and Voyager collection donating most to younger relatives. Kind of regret the Primus, GDO Wheelie, and FoC Grimlock being lumped into that lot. The latter doesn't fit in 100% with the CHUG aesthetic I love (plus the plastic/paint/finish quality and feel) and others were broken in some small ways.

In the meanwhile a steady ration of new LEGO for MOCing does help keep the kid in me alive.

OP here, listen I didn't mean to bring 'popularity' into the topic at all. I don't give a shit about what is popular or not, I just care that figma makes figures for like 4 different anime rather than a dozen different ones and video games etc.

I appreciate the replies but for those wanting to continue a discussion on 'popularity', I implore that you make a new thread, because it has nothing to do with this threads topic of struggling with becoming disillusioned with the hobby of collecting toys for various reasons

Yea pretty much speaks to where I'm at.
Cool idea with the LEGO though, sounds pretty fun, might be more suitable to me at this point, spending time building a toy instead of just displaying it etc., might make things more engaging for me

Looking at figma pre-orders, I count 19 different franchises, I think you're just retarded.

I like his Aesthetic. Game was fun for what it was too. I agree though I want a MGS1 snake that isn't some weird scale or super stylized.
IIRC the pic i posted isn't an official product, its some chinese company making it with a similar name, the newer 1/12th figures I've seen are all high quality and not officially licensed. The biggest one was the protag from the Red Dead Redemption 2 game, however it was pulled after Rockstar found out about it.

Welcome to being a Mega Man fan.

A cast of literally 100+ unique and interesting robots to choose from.

Every single release is some variant or Mega Man. Occasionally there is a Zero. Or maybe some shitty 0 POA Vinyl figure of a bad guy.
