With so many franchises going on, what toys do you decide to collect from them? I have some that I really want to collect from:
>Transformers
>Masters of the Universe
>Thundercats
But I don't know which ones to get first or what figures to buy. TMNT is there too. It's a hard choice and it hurts the bank account.

Honestly don't be a completion fag. Get what you truly feel you'll love. I typically get the core team plus more obscure or personal favorites. If you like the older retro toys get those, if you feel like the newer lines are better than more power to you. Basically buy what you'll truly love and not just buying for the dopamine hit or for some nonexistent clout

I’ve really stopped buying everything that I’m slightly interested and have chosen a few things I’m really passionate about.

Currently it’s MOTU Origins/Vintage and XPLUS Kaiju. Definitely exceptions every now again, but I try to stick with it. I’ve had to stop myself several times from making impulse purchases because I had a bad day.

It never ceases to baffle me how Anpanman is always in top 5 media titans despite not being a world-class IP. I hardly ever see any products from it in Japan's stores or homes, I know the books are huge but what else is there to it even? Years ago I saw a Japanese girl on twitter showing off her Anpanman set of confections she got on Valentine's day and that's it. I actively watch what Japan is into and it's into a lot of things but Anpanman is not one of them. FFS he doesn't even have a nendo.or a funko pop.

That list for revenue is so incomplete.

Batman doesn't have comic sales and i doubt it ONLY made 40 bucking million despite having 32409834 TV shows and movies (network TV probably paid half of that for the rights to air just Burton's Batman).
Superman is also missing from that list and it used to be much moer popular than Batman from conception until 1989.

Japan is a very big country (population wise) and it rode a popularity wave for a very long time, so half a century of that adds up to a lot.

The series itself is more popular than this chart actually says.
Something to consider is the fact that worldwide merching is relatively new, so only the mega popular shit used to sell back in the 80s and before. So stuff like Harry Potter and Pokemon is only as high as it is because cross-border popularity is so easy, hence rising so high relatively quickly.
Also, $100 says they didn't always take inflation into account.

Is it still relevant today? Why not post one that's more recent like OP?

Shueishafags! We're fucking winning!

Add SJ, DB, HNK, OP, Yugioh and you get 120b. Even more than pokemon.

Admittedly Disney is still the fucking juggernaut, but atleast Shueisha has soul.

BTW, when is kinnikuman getting new figures?
