I love both my vintage and ME collection and I do wish we were still getting some new yearly o-ring figures from the club in addition to the continuation of them doing the ME and 12" figures. The problem before with what the club was offering back when they were still doing o-ring figures is they were mostly direct repaints or slight variations of figures/characters we already had (crimson deco vipers/baroness/twins instead of blue and black, Zarana in a purple top instead of pink, Gristle in green and black, etc. There was nothing wrong with any of these figures specifically but they were mostly just o-ring variations on things that already existed in o-ring and thus not that exciting. On the other hand when they made a figure like Big Lob who was a classic character that never had an o-ring figure they had a hit that still demands a premium on the secondary market. I'd love to see the club go back and invest in giving us o-ring figures we never got in o-ring form before like Billy, Pythona, Hector Ramirez, Kamikura, Hard/Soft/Blind Master, Bombstrike, the Plague, Lt. Stone, Wade Collins, Ronin, etc. etc. Now obviously the club would need to make a profit and I can't speak on their behalf financially or quote specifics on costs versus demand, but it does seem like there would be an audience for this (likely as big or bigger than any 12" audience). They just need to be sure to give us things to get excited about like characters that were never part of our o-ring collections and not just more unrequested variation on characters already produced in o-ring form
