Like I was saying in another thread, I collect more stuff from other companies nowadays, because these other companies are making characters / figures / sets I've wanted to see for years. I've definitely foregone sculpt quality for variety at this point, which is something I never thought I'd do. In other words, I feel these other companies aren't quite as good as McF artistically, but I've learned to focus on other things - like the excitement I feel over a certain character getting a figure. Even if that character turns out crappy because a company other than McF made it, hey, at least we FINALLY got a figure of that character.
I think I mainly collect NECA, Mezco and the remaining Muppets stuff at this point. I still buy some Spawn stuff and the Monsters series from McF. But other than that, they don't make much stuff that interests me any more.
But things have changed over the years, and I've learned to accept that. I still love McF and will always support them...I think my website speaks for me on that issue. But it honestly seems like McF isn't all that interested in being supported by the fans any more, whereas they once thrived on it. They just kind of do their own thing now without much regard to good or bad comments from the fans. I feel like McF's attitude nowadays is kind of like, 'Here's our shit, if you like it, great. If not, oh well. We aren't really interested in getting personal about it any more'.
