So todays figure topic is "Are you buying less figures?"
Was prompted to bring this up after I spoke to several figure retailers who have observed a decline in figure sales over the years. Some of the reasons they think are the cause are the increasing cost of figures (some now hitting the 12,000 yen mark) and another reason simply being that there is now too much choice.
So how about you? Are you buying less figures and if so what would be the reason for you?
There is a poll embedded in this article.
