They were made for adult collectors who either leave shit in the package or display it on a shelf. Some of us don't give a shit about 20 POA, and don't expect our figures to come with extra heads and hands. That's why so many statues are sold every year, and are often sold as more of a premium format than action figures.

Personally I think McTodd is a legend. He transformed the industry with high-detailed toy sculpts sold at a decent price, and he was still trying to champion reasonable prices with the Super Powers line. You gotta respect him for trying to bring prices down against Hasbro and Mattel who think that everything's too cheap. I don't agree with him getting on board crowd-funded shit, though. I wish that trend would just fucking die already. All it does is alienate the vast majority of toy-buyers, and I hope the Chinese crowd give notice to it and use their special abilities to mass-produce cheaper-priced versions.
