The Vintage Collection dudes only got an old style package!
It’s all in the details.
Not just the details of the actual figure but also the presentation of the product (vintage style packaging is a great example)
I’m a sucker for the Vintage Style Cards. For the 25th line I have everything carded in a Star Case as well as loose complete. If you have a “collector driven” line I think you end up with a lot of people in that situation, buying doubles of figures that are not necessarily Troop Builders.
I’ve done the same thing with Star Wars Vintage Collection.
I don’t think I’m alone in that regard.
Then you have the price point factor. I think it’s beneficial for a figure line geared towards kids to have a lower, competitive price point.
I think that better explains what I was thinking when I said “both lines”.
My 21 year old son is a good example.
While he agrees with me that the vintage style packaging is cool, it’s not nostalgic to him like it is to me.
He collects multiple Action Figure Lines (mostly 6”) and he almost immediately opens anything he buys. There’s not much interest for him in keeping anything carded/boxed.
