>>8051185Know a dude who used to take photos for Storm Collectibles, and from his word of mouth, Capcom simply have no merchandise director for Darkstalker. If they have to, it would have to pick Kiki from Storm Collectibles to be its merchandising manager.
In other words, Capcom simply does not give a shit about Darkstalkers. Even if you do not believe my anecdote, it just is so. Don't get me wrong, I love DS, but it simply isn't relevant without any game updates. Heck, I wanna say the lack of hentai doujins is a sign of its declining popularity.
It is just basic product cycle problem. I have never bought a single Storm Collectible. The guy can get a little "Randy from NECA" level of stubborness. On the one hand, we got Golden Axe figures. On the other hand, against my friends advice, he went ahead with World's Heroes. Bold strategy Cotton, I hope for the best and see if it will play out. Maybe if you make it, they will buy.
