nearmint, cause you are amongst the Tubers talking to Jay, give him proper advie.
His Green Lantern WON'T sell. Period. Nor would his Flash with the current sculpt (or renders).
His Captain America, Thor and Iron Man looked like big Bowens. For a small period of time, the average collector can "admire" them due to the lack of 1/3 comic Marvel sculpts also.
Nevertheless, in the end he is going to get bored of them due to their simplicity and also due to the fact that simplistic sculpts do NOT appeal to deep-pocketed collectors, successful men, who want to collect but also to not also being ashamed of it if it looks tooooooo childish.
The moment Sideshow produces a 1/3 comic Captain America or Thor with Sideshow's UNDENIABLE artistic superiority and "Sideshow's style", its over.
The market is extremely difficult for companies like LBS or Tweeterhead
to "listen" to guys and producing stuff that are not going to be a commercial success.
Tubers get views from Shorts, not from their actual long videos. Their non-Short videos or lives have at most 3-4k views. Companies overestimate Tubers influence on the hobby.
Forps is here to help the community, the hobby and also companies to navigate through these times.
But.....
If Sideshow is INDEED following what i wrote ~1 year ago, its OVER.
No company can EVER compete with Sideshow regarding western comic-inspired sculpts. Its futile. Its a recipe for disaster.
Prime1 should eg specialize in anime or video game stuff, PCS on NON-HUMAN sculpts (PCS can't produce a sculpt with a human likeness, PERIOD) etc.
Sideshow is no longer kidding. It got serious and i can also see that it is her opportunity to "clean" the mess which XM and Prime1 afterwards brought to this hobby.
