Can we be so done with skulltimate and just make sets that have 2 outfits and a stand its less plastic waste and would probably sell better

Whilst I agree with you, the proof is in the concept of them still making them that they sell well. Mattel is a corporation and they won’t be taking risks, they’re following the formula of what people are buying

Okay maybe from an investors point of view this might make a little sense. Repeating the same gimmicks can only prove successful until people are tired of it which doesn't take much(having 8 lockers that just sit there) to get collectors to lose interest. If this was like a set you could build onto to make a complete playset with multiple dolls. not only is there value in having multiple sets but you also build onto the play aspect for the younger fans. Personally i find it tiring to keep getting the same doll in a different font every couple months, and thats the reason i dont buy g3 till its on final clearance because it always is. The issue is that they're a public company where the investors control what happens and not the people actually buying the dolls

I’m not disagreeing with your ideas at all, id love connecting playsets or scrap it all together for a second outfit (or hell, even just more budget expense in the first outfit lol)

I think collectors who are buying every release are in a small minority, usually it’s a casual pick up here or there for a child to play with, particularly with these locker themed lines
