why licensing video game characters into action figure is rare as finding a diamond in a pondjust like pic related, its almost 10 years ago that this came out as a Kickstarter and it has not aged fine as a figure, especially with the chinese bodies you can find on aliexpress and customs that you can make for much cheaper, since the figure costed a whopping 150 $ and if you missed it then bye byewhy no toy company ever touch something smaller like Hotline Miami or Furi since the license cost much cheaper

>>10978432>>10978438I want these now
>>10978432>>10978438>>10983056Because gamers don't buy toys. They want escapist realty in a faraway universe, not a fuckin doll
>>10978432>costed>150 $>why no toy company
>>10978432Always thought this was ridiculous for the price and quality, I think they marketed it as more of an art doll thing. Yet here we are now with 150 dollar figures people don’t seem to bat an eye at. On the bright side this has to be one of the easiest customs you could make
>>10983786It’s a 1/6 figure? Hot Toys go for almost $300.
>>10978432because most of these video game series don't have a wide variety of characters that would sell well.take for example gta, a series that hasn't had a action figure line not including third party figures or that one 1/6 claude figure.If a company decided to get the license from rockstar (it wouldn't be cheap) and made a line for something like gta 5, they could only really make the 3 main protags and maybe lamar?That's 4 figures, why waste all that time money and resources only to release 4 figures.That's why nowadays we only really series with a MASSIVE list of characters get lines because they can always make more characters that will actually sell.(Sonic the hedgehog, pokemon, mario, Street fighter, etc)
>>10985157this is bullshit because starcraft has like 100 figures and vehicles and playsets you could make and they've only ever fucked it up and made like 3 figures before cancelling 5 different lines that were all too fucking big to start out with.
>>10983794Back then, Hot Toys could be had for as cheap as $120 and even then this was no where near the quality.
>>10985531I would buy every figure from a line of Final Fantasy Tactics figures. I mean hell, I kind of already have with the three Bringarts they put out. But if they started pumping out Generic units....well I'd certainly be filling up my roster. That said, Blizzard is notorious for tanking any attempts at toylines for their IPs. Just like they're notorious for tanking their IPs to begin with.
Why won't they just make a Travis Touchdown already
jakks is carrying the torch, every walmart now has streets of rage and altered beast figures. the ideal situation is a toy company getting access to a publisher's range of IP instead of just one series.
