So this week I got a broken Supergirl toy. I’ll put it on the list alongside my broken Dark Source figures and broken Marvel figures. I’m really super frustrated right now because I feel like I can’t trust any of these toy lines for even basic QC. I have cancelled my Hiya preorders (such as Robocop) because I don’t trust them any more. I refuse to buy any more Dark Source. I had some of Planet Green Valley figures on preorder from Boss Fight for AN ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR and this morning I just cancelled them and asked for a refund.
I’m fed the fuck up with shitty, broken toys, overpriced Asian imports, and 6” scale getting EVERYTHING while we get fucking squat. The only people who haven’t let me down yet are Marauder. I cannot name ANY other product that I buy that is so consistently fucked up and defective. ANY other industry would have gone out of business if it sold defective bullshit this often. I want to buy the new 6 inch Joes, and I want to hold out hope that there will be good 4” Joes when the new movie comes this Fall. But I’m also so frustrated that I just want to quit and never buy a toy again. I don’t know what to do. |

My advice would be to just take a break from buying toys for now. I would suggest you still keep your collection and not do anything rash with it. Then just wait a while (maybe a few months) and see what you think about collecting then.

Collecting toys is fun...or was fun.
Collecting collectibles seems much less so. |

I’d be pretty confident in Hasbro and Mattel, I wouldn’t lump them in the same category as the little guys. Listen to Yeet. Just back off of the small independent companies and stick with mainstream companies for a while. I remember I sold a bunch of Kickstarter figures a few years ago. The figures were made from a reputable company that I trust but it was still a small upstart. One figure came in a box, not on card&bubble. I ended up selling him but had to mention in the listing that I slit the tape and opened the box just to inspect the figure. Well, that listing sold better than all of the sealed listings just because collectors were concerned about paying 85 bucks for a figure that was busted. You’re not alone man. But don’t be rash. MGR, BFS, 4H, Mattel, Takara, NECA and Hasbro have never let me down. Sure, some occcasional paint snafus but they all seem to be better with the pain now. 4H and BFS was always tight with paint from my experience though.
