Well the way all of Japan does business is different. For instance, in America if there's a big audience for say blue shirts, American business' will cater to that. In Japan though, usually, they ignore trends. They have some guy come up with something and then the guys up top say "Lets MAKE a market for this, let's find a market and sell it to them and allow them to make the product bigger" (kinda like free advertising) and so on, rather than ASKING "Who do we sell this to?"
It seems weird, but it works. I mean Japan has more disposable income than to know what to do with! But now they're trying to reach out West and things are getting a little confused on both sides. B
BEFORE Medicom would say "Lets just make the most popular character, that's all they want from this American movie" and it works....in JAPAN, but here they don't see, I think, we want more. I think Medicoms learning though, I mean look, we thought the Star Wars line was dead, and they brought it back. THEY LEARNED. Same with comic Marvel. I think what's MOST LIKELY to happen, is for future Marvel Movie releases Medicom will make MORE characters in wave 1, or possibly plan 2 waves. I think THEY think it's too late to go back to older movies though.
I dunno though, just basing all this off their history. BUT what I like about Medicom over ALL other 1/6 toy companies, is they LEARN. They learn and change. Not that HT needs to now, they kick ass, and hopefully SS is changing too, but it's happened most obviously happening with Medi. That's a good thing. Human likeness, they realised we wanted less cartoony, more real, WE GOT IT. More from our fav. lines, Star Wars and the thought dead Comic Marvel BOTH coming back HUGE. I think we'll get more Movie Marvel, but not yet, maybe in 08.
But all the while too, we got to remember, WE are not their biggest concern, Japan is. So in the end they will ALWAYS put the Japanese market before the Western markets. But it makes sense.
Thanks GW!! Yeah, I can't wait until my other Spidey and Venom show up.... And I look forward to repainting Peter when he eventually ships.
