>>8646872>But how many adults buy figures? Of those, how many are further subdivided into niches?Sure but parents know shit about toys so they would buy anything. Unless you mean that this just means they choose the cheapest route, which is probably what they do. Just reproducing the same guys with half of them being recolors or something since parents don't care, they just buy what's on the shelves.
It's hard to speculate about this for me because I know 0 people with kids and never knew kids outside of my class when I was at school and as kid I preferred videogames so parents just gave me money for those instead.
But you are right, now thinking of it most random people, adults I mean, that buy figures and such also buy some random shit like dunno, some sheep or round whatever. The only exception are the nerds, be it anime fanatics or robot collectors. Still sad Hasbro didn't make use of that by establishing a sub-company that sells that shit. Ironically, among Transformers lore fans (cartoons, comics, games whatever) I mainly see Hasbro being brought up when they hate on them.
