Got news for you, most people view toys as disposable items. We forget that adults who collect toys aren't exactly mainstream. "Collectibles" such as this stuff and Pops are actually more mainstream. Part of that is probably due to semantics and/or perception. These aren't "toys" so that makes them acceptable for adults to buy because many adults just don't want to collect toys. Plus, as I said earlier, there's less effort involved here. You get the nostalgia and kitsch in an easy, one-stop format without the hassle and associated hassle of toy collecting. Most people just aren't as into toy/comic/geek culture properties from childhood as we are, so they're not going to expend the effort we do.
