    Too many Mego style figures this year

    I think way too many things are coming out in one year. All of a sudden it's the trendy format. That might kill it...

      I must say we are suddenly DROWNING in the 8 inch format. I think it's safe to say the market is saturated.

              *gasp*


              We wished for Mego figures to be made again! But we didn't realize the true HORROR that entailed! All our money going away!

              It's like the twist at the end of an M Knight Shamalamalalma movie!

              Or that Twilight Zone episode...

                    Well when you start seeing 8" knockoffs in the dollar store you'll know the format has succeeded again.

                        Like all trends the current 8" trend will die too.

                        Better to saturate now and leave more legacies to collect.

                        Saturate or not saturate, when the trend dies it dies.

                            I don't think anyone will collect 'em all, it's unlikely anyone is interested in every line being released. There are certain lines I will collect, others I won't and most likely that's the case for everyone here. With more lines being released you have more choice. We're getting 8" figures from everywhere now, but I don't think that's a bad thing, quite the contrary

                              OMG.
                              I hope there's a Doc Knock-Off out there somewhere, right now, vowing not to quit until dollar store 8" figures are on the masonite peg boards again. I want me a PACO DINO WARRIOR revival!!
