Possible 3 pack. Appears to be coordinated with the upcoming mech.

















US WWII sets

[spiffymalice]

Hm, are those US airborne? The helmets look too small. They should be the same shape as the first set, only with webbing.

ShowZ has pics of the new mech and that 3 pack.

That new set is too expensive 80 or 90 for 3 figures is too much plus other than the stands nothing new there. They're reusing parts. This should be in 50 to 60 range like the other 3packs.

Looks like they are being sold as singles. The price is in line with their Hardcore Coldplay figures that were single packed with unique packaging and extra paint apps.

I've long been curious, how do people feel about JoyToy releasing sets of three versus singles?

From a distance, I wonder if sets of three (or three plus one) dissuades some prospective buyers, due to the higher number of figures and/or price point. Overall, some people might be reluctant to jump in as collecting this line seems like a bigger commitment of shelf space and dollars.

On the other hand, the sets seem like good value on a per figure basis. And a big plus is you get ready-made-teams in a way that frustratingly you often don't with other toylines (even over time).

And I wonder if part of what enables JoyToy to be so prolific and diverse in its releases is knowing that for most of them it can move the entire teams/waves at once, without individual figures lingering/not selling.

Of course, it need not be an either/or proposition. So, if you like both trios and singles, how do you feel about the current balance? Would you like to see more single releases?

I prefer singles. But the 3 packs (and multi packs) haven’t slowed me down at all. Mainly because I love what they are doing. If there is a figure I like I get the set but only because love their design choices. I could see a time that if I didn’t like all 3 figures that I would not buy the set because of the price, but I haven’t gotten there yet.
