It seems as once joyful action figure enthusiasts, at the high end of this hobby we have transgressed to the hipster douches of the toy world. Whereas Kickstarter has allowed us access to the process and breaking down of all components, we now demand it for everything. While it's true it's comforting to see accountability from unknown names, we have gotten to the point where a company like 4Horsemen who has produced millions in sales and taken sculpts to new unsurpassed realms, still is given no leeway and looked upon as suspect, unless they show us & tell us everything.
"How exactly is that penny I sent you going to be divided" we yell out with the rest of our long list of demands.
"When you are done playing with sculpt in the back get over here on this computer and break down your business for me," we tell them.
"And why have you not colored in this story and made this more apealing to me? What is wrong with you guys?" we ask them.
No longer can one just make an action figure for exactly what it is, to be looked at and held for as simple as it is. No, not even figures of a 30 year old property that we recognize that would not exist otherwise. Instead of just enjoying that simple but well made piece of plastic in our hands we demand much more. Give me a story, give me updates, give me a bio on every figure, what's the goal, when does the next series come out, I won't buy unless I have every single one because I am a 40yr old manchild with OCD, the list goes on & on. No longer can we just appreciate what is. This is the pigeonhole we have been led to.
You know what? You're exactly correct. But it's 2017 and the 4H were selling to an entirely new market with whom they have no significant good will. All of the stuff you complain about being overly-demanding is simply the state of the art nowadays.
You want my money before I get product?
Then you need to *SELL* that product to me, not rest on laurels others gave you.
