To me the main issue, is the Batman costume being so easily snagged and other materials degrading and cracking in a relatively short amount of time.
To me those are quality issues that should not exist on a $200 plus figure. And if the figures are damaged, I'm not sure a collector can step out of his investment as easily.
And for toys in general, I think it is unwise to expect a profit or for them to appreciate in value. Some do, some don't and even when they do it tends to be generational.
Also, I think the reason why there is more passion behind the criticism of mego-like figures on this board than on 1/6th figures is simply because the focus on the this board is mego.
