Just a little freaky
Re my earlier post, it should be Harold Lloyd with the clockface, not Buster Keaton.
If there is a gap in the market it is for spare outfits for specific figures. Take Bond for example, Sideshow made a few figures but you could have a standard Connery figure with Goldfinger suit to buy separately, or the Roger Moore skiing outfit from The Spy Who Loved Me sold separately to the Roger Moore figure in an outfit from later in the film and so on. Base figures and outfits (the razor and razor blade philosophy of the GI Joe and Action Man brand) are the way to go. Just look at Kunch and the success of the spare outfits for Bauer. Keeps the cost low and collectors can eventually get all the figures they want for less than buying new figures in new outfits.
Look at the example Modellers Loft (in the UK) has just done with Action Man 40th anniversary figures. They sold the figure and replica outfit but also parted out the figure/outfit separately for those who just wanted the outfit.
I know companies want to make all the money they can but at the end of the day its the collectors (and their money) that make or break companies. 21st Century anyone?.......
