I take the point you are making.. now consider the difference between Big Chief's profits.. and Hot Toy's today....
Okay look. All the arguments about HT going where the profit is are perfectly understood but they don't calm anyone down when they are reiterated time and time again. Its self-evident. There wouldn't be a relentless onslaught of IM figures if they weren't selling. Its not a point that needs to be made.
But let those who want other figures complain. Fair enough, they shouldn't do it in IM threads but elsewhere it ought to be perfectly OK. If no one ever complains HT literally will not make anything else, why would they bother. HT needs to know, by way of complaining on forums and the spread of those complaints to facebook and so on that there are collectors waiting for other licenses - some of which used to be HT main bread and butter and put them on the map before all this IM hoopla.
