Hey, dont be mistaken. Surely Mr Chan didnt bully. He is highly respectful from what I learnt in 1/6 field. I too. Give him my highest respect. He is a good man!
Competitors will do what need to do to each other on the field. Is natural. He has a ton of people to feed. Moreover, guys like him have some attitudes. These usually are the ingredients of making determination decisions.
Seriously, who could achieve their qualities? (in respect to the volume produced) Even someone can do as good, they wouldn't have the volume to lower their overall cost. This was why I only offer QMx to be the 2nd largest (3zero is the real competitor), and Trek must be at frontlines to spearhead the whole deal.
Anyway, I only like to do Trek. I was thinking to push QMx to be the 2nd largest 1/6 producer in the world by penetrating into DC licensing (succeeded, they had Lynda WW! A jewel in DC) and built them a production. All I want to do is Trek,
Everyone supposed to be happy.

As an aspiring filmmaker, one thing I learned from observing that industry is if you want to make it in Hollywood and get work, you don't talk $#!T. You don't know who you're going to insult and you'll get blacklisted.
Since you're in the toy industry, I can see why you'd be respectful of others in the field. Like in hollywood...well, it's not exclusive to hollywood, but nonetheless, you don't want to insult the wrong people and be exiled.
So while I greatly appreciate you and your opinion, as a consumer and figure enthusiast, I can't agree with your assessment of Howard.
I know it's the nature of a capitalist society and it's all business yadda yadda...but it doesn't mean I'm going to willingly accept it. You mentioned he has people to feed....but with all due respect, nanjin, so? You don't have people to feed? Other toy manufacturers don't have people to feed?
I'm sure 8 out of 10 companies approach the toys they're making from a place of passion. Much like how a more humble Howard began; A desire to take the things they love and to make highly detailed action figures...with a secondary desire to make money of course. That's the one common thing that is necessary by nature...it is a business after all.
But somewhere down the line, things began to change. It became less about the passion, and more about the bottom line.
It's one thing to raise prices. I get it. I don't condone it, but it is what it is.
But when you hoard licenses with NO intention of producing anything, just so X company or Y company can't even get their foot in the door...as a consumer and fellow human being, all I can say to that is "go ****yourself".
