One thing I think all these start-ups and Kickstarter companies who produce new action figure lines overlook is the connection. We love GI Joe figures why? The Comic! the Cartoon! or the connection we had with someone who had a love for the property.
Just coming up with random cool looking figures and expecting people to latch onto them, as if they come with an already produced background story like Transformers or Star Wars is taking a huge gamble.
Bossfight studios(who in my opinion is an example of a successful toy venture) makes some amazing stuff. I would really like to see the ideas they have transcend into other media. Such as a web-episodes, cartoons or comics etc...
I like all these new toys. but let's be real. You need the marketing to go with it to make it grab people. Acid Rain stuff is cool. But I'd like to see it have the GI Joe level of production. Cartoon on the web, an independent comic etc.. in today's world of basement production. it wouldn't be that expensive or difficult.
My 2 cents.
