Yeah those Mcfarlane Simpsons figures...Im not too big on them.
Of course, my FAVORITE Simpsons like was the 1990 Kenner line. Yeah, Im odd.
There's this local store near me called Toy Fusion, that is almost entirely 70's, 80's and 90's toys(with rare/import modern figures as well) And it's amazing how many toylines would be released every year in the 1980's, just astonishing. Insectaurs, Wheeled Warriors,
C.O.P.S., etc.
The only toy lines available at stores are about 50% WWE wrestling figures(usually taking up 1 to 2 rows), Transformers, GI JOE, TMNT, Power Rangers, Star Wars, the latest Digimon/Pokemon ripoff, and Marvel/DC figures. Thats about it. I mean sure, these are mostly the same popular toy lines I remember from the late 1980's, but I realize with so many factors the only place to find those cool collector figures is the collectabe market.
Sadly, even loose/far from mint condition video game figures go for insane prices on ebay. Virtually every Toy Biz, Joyride, etc video game related figure goes for hundreds of dollars on ebay. Even cheap Crash Bandicoot figures.
My point is, I guess we are lucky there is even any sort of toy line being produced these days that caters to an older market.
NECA definitely has to be one of the most interesting toy makers. TMNT, Jareth and a Hoggle, etc.
Oh yeah, those Palisades guys should just keep those Muppet prototypes. Its pretty doubtful in this economy, anyone is going to pay $500 or more for a pvp prototype.
Sal The Monkey, Gobo and some of the Sesame Street figure prototypes I believe are some of the only few that went for a pretty penny.
