Thanks for those words of wisdom.
For your own sake though, you may want to educate yourself a little more on the workings of this industry before criticizing a company's business practices... It just might spare you a little embarrassment.
Your argument is almost too weak to make sense of, but I'll try....
Right. And there's $250 worth of plastic there.
Um, no. If you think any company on the face of the earth prices their products only high enough to pay for the actual material costs, I'm not even sure the rest of this post will make any sense to you so you can stop reading here. And for what it's worth, there is waaaaaay more material cost in one of these figures than for a "Neca toy".
They're sculpted, painted, boxed and shipped just like these are.
Well, kinda.... And they also produce and sell about 100 times as many of them. Don't let the scale of those Neca pieces fool you, they're
action figures. I won't go into all the differences between an action figure and a high-end resin collectible right now (or mass production economics), but lets just say the list is very long. There's plenty of info out there on the subject though, you might find it interesting!
Line's gonna burn out quick, unfortunatly.
Once again, your wisdom is appreciated! When that happens feel free to slap us with a big "I told ya so".
There's a reason that Sideshow has prospered exponentially over the past few years while most other large 'toy' companies have laid off half their workforce or even floundered completely.... These folks know what they're doing. But thanks for being so concerned!
