Are there any companies or toylines you use to love but absolutely refuse to buy from now?

>>11731891Transformers. They're too over-priced. And when they did anniversary reissues that removed the vac-metallizing and stickers while costing more than a (somehow) more-authentic Chinese KO, I was done.
>>11731904You do seem like a miserable troll
>>11731891Mega Construx, or Mattel Brickshop, as they're now called. I just hate Mattel.
>>11732151Yeah, TF has lost a lot of its allure even since I got back into collecting with the wfc stuff. It's either a decent alt mode or a decent bot mode but it's rare you get both at the same time. All the panels and back pack crap just bleh.
>>11731891Hasbro because I'm tired of dealing with Transformers shit and I tried collecting their Power Rangers shit. Then they announced Tron and that's probably not even happening now
>>11732253Their GI Joe stuff has gotten over-priced, good vehicles are few and far in between, and they do far too much "BUY THE SHIT YOU DON'T WANT IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE LINE AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL WALMART IF YOU WANT THE SHIT YOU DO WANT TO BE AVAILABLE."
>>11731891McFarlane. The DCMV line was chugging along nicely until he started making a shitload of desirable characters gold label, collector's editions, or worse platinum editions. The paint and sculpts took a sharp drop while prices went up. His other lines I was interested in like ATLA, Witcher, and Vox Machina all ended up glaringly incomplete, too, so I just don't really trust him in general nowadays. Last figure I bought from him was the Page Punchers Ocean Master in 2023, I think.
>>11732168Why are you even in this thread?
>>11731891heh, there's a couple of companies where i like the products but the owner seems like such a pretentious cunt that i just can't support them
>>11732275The guy is a magic NECA leprechaun that shows up and immediately goes into battle mode whenever anyone mentions NECA.
>>11732267Same. I was into their 40K line as the Space Marines and xenos were honestly pretty good, and the custom-friendly design was great, but between Todd's inability to comprehend scale meaning the human-sized characters were barely any smaller than the Astartes and the decline in quality of paint (not a huge deal as I was customizing all of mine anyway), sculpt and engineering, I just kinda got bored of 'em. They were decent value for money but when I got the Chaos Marines in, which I'd actually been hyped for, I was really disappointed; the paintjobs were incredibly minimal and the articulation was weirdly limited for seemingly no reason. Especially the ankles, which barely have any range; kind of ironic given they introduced toe joints, which were one of the few things the initial Marines (which I liked) were missing.IDK. I wanna finish the customs I already started but I don't think I'll buy anymore. JoyToy has me covered for 40K figures anyway.
>>11732280yeah I feel that way about bobby vala too
>>11731891Marvel legends and mcfarlane as a whole They are actively ripping customers off with inflated prices just because they know adults are buying them for themselves. I exclusively by Mattel and Jakks now.
>>11731891Revoltech, too many QC issues for a figure that's $80 plus shipping, I don't feel like beta testing their releases.
>>11732275Maybe you should leave this board
>>11732442I get that he wanted his own version of GI Joe, but naming it after himself is a bit of a douchebag move.
>>11732518Are there any companies or toylines you use to love but absolutely refuse to buy from now?
>>11731891Mafex is getting thereDC and X-men are why I buy them but god damn they love letting me down with QC shit
>>11732663You should stop trolling the board.
>>11731891Not that i can think of, but that's probably because i buy random toys i think look cool regardless of the company making it
>>11732695You entered a thread with an OP question you aren't willing to answer. Why are you trolling this thread?
>>11731891>you use to loveI never loved Todd Slop but I do refuse to buy it
>>11731891>Beast Deities/Mythos Anime Not loved but I liked how their products look. They scammed many buyers on Gundamit by sending some subpar copies of their original Broly, sold as a release. They defend themselves saying that those were done by some new factory of their. Fuck them, that rerelease is pure trash.
