Tell me about it. It is more a learned behavior now. I just recently sold off the remainder of my Kenner SW stuff. Including a 100 piece 12" collection. In the course of selling those I came across the Hot Toys Jack Sparrow and really took notice at how far 1/6 scale had come since the early days of SW SSC. Of course I had to look at what else was available. That mistake roped me in. Had originally planned to keep my focus strictly on Gentle Giant SW busts. The rest is history. Good thing is I don't collect anything really comic book related so I wo't go broke trying to keep up with Avengers, Iron Man, X-Men, Spiderman, etc. TDK Joker is the exception to that rule. Only because he is iconic.
If I'm not mistaken, I thought MIB started out as a comic book.
