It probably would have been had there been more competition along the way. No reason to improve when you're at the top of the food chain.Honestly, this is where I thought HT would be in almost 2023 - back in 2013.
Yah^ I just hope that competition doesn't lead to HT improving and thinking they can charge the same price because I'm definitely out at $500+.
Which 'they'? HT?they didn't get the proportions right on the head or the body and they should have made the collar better - that shouldn't cost extra.
HT never had realistic proportions -- we just got used to them. Now its showing up.
My problem now is that after I get used to the quality of the 500$ InArt dolls, how will I make due with the HT ones?
**** you're right. We have been blind for so long!
The prices will go up across the board, mark my words.Yah^ I just hope that competition doesn't lead to HT improving and thinking they can charge the same price because I'm definitely out at $500+. The problems I have with their figure is that they didn't get the proportions right on the head or the body and they should have made the collar better - that shouldn't cost extra.
And then I'll want to replace everything and the cycle repeats itself.This is the advancement of the hobby... where you look back and see your figures for what they truly are... remember seeing HT figures and looking back at Sideshow ones? Well, in time, with a few InArt figures (assuming they come out as hoped) I believe they will show up the HTs for all their impossible body proportions, heavy stitching and everything else that makes them the old style.
I wear the clothes daily though. They make me A E S T H E T I C. My figures sit there, judging me with their doll's eyes... Upgrading toys every so often is tedious to me. I don't want to be doing this forever anyhow. As I've already said, I'm buying these as a way to close the chapters of my childhood/teen pop culture consumption. The omnis and the figures are my way of doing it. I'll still have a Top 10 that I'll probably keep tabs on and will pick up the odd merch here and there, but I don't want to worry about replacing my Wandas and Officer Ks and whatever else. I'd rather drop 3K on some great Doom statue 7 years from now, not get OCD over the new Charlize Clea having a more accurate dress, you know? I'll never stop collecting, but I want to upgrade. Antiques and books, watches and so on. This collection is my "childish" one so I want to finish it (I doubt I'll get my entire list but even a 70% would be good enough) within the current decade of the 20s.I don't know -- what else do you keep forever as is? Clothes? Food? Girlfriends? Cars? Everything is upgraded for a better version over time. Why not figures?
And everything better costs more. Including clothes, cars and girlfriends.
I've been wearing the same jacket since for 17 years lol.
