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 have bought most of the single figures like Kwai & Ling, but even they still function as two men teams. As long as they keep making stuff I like, I'll keep buying. |

Man, these new sets are exactly what I want! Reminds me of the bulkier Hell Screamerz figure concepts.

I'm really digging the direction their going. Those figures will go along way to flesh out my cosmic shelves. I'll probably be doubling up on some of those sets.

Wow! The Gold set reminds me of some of Jim Lee's comic illustration.

Just a remark here on those from UK ordering these sets from AliExpress. Since Jan 1st all online markets have the responsability to apply UK VAT immediately. This means tax will be added while checking out on an AliExpress purchase. This is valid for any amount.
I made some pre-orders today and was surprised to see the price going up when changing to UK address. Ended up ordering it to my Portugal address. It's a bummer because things shipped AliExpress shipping service were very fast. Normally took 7 to 10 days to arrive. Just the warning.. DDon't know about lockertoys but I suspect they will have to comply to this as well. If someone knows anything about this for lockertoys let me know.

I’d definitely like to see more singles released because I can’t afford to buy a whole set for the sake of getting one figure. I have bought quite a few whole sets of modern and the new WW2 Germans. I have to need the majority of the figures in a set for me to pull the trigger though.
