That's way higher than I would've guessed.

I could only find three articles that showed their work. One claimed it was worth $8.9 billion in 2023, the second said $8.5 this year, and the third said $7.4 in 2024. I went with the most conservative estimate and rounded up $100 million for inflation. However, I'd take them all with a grain of salt because they had rosy growth forecasts for the action figure market and I'm not sure I believe that.

Hasbro’s own financial statements paint the picture of a declining action figure market. Maybe rising prices all around lead to short term increases at the macro level, but yeah, I’d be skeptical of anyone forecasting an expanding market here.

Right. Grocery stores are bragging about record profits, but it's not because they're selling more groceries than ever before.

Right?
Stop with the FOMO marketing.
Let the quality of the product sell itself. All the hoops they make customers jump through to just buy their stuff is such a 180 from where they started.

They had a small, but loyal fanbase back in the early days (as you and I both know from their old forums), but those lines weren't major money makers.
They found something that worked, and found people who were willing to jump through those hoops, so more power to them. It's just not for everyone.
 
I’m just glad it’s nonsensical colored skeletons they tried this with and not something that could have been an ‘armory experience’ with different armor options. I don’t need any of these skeletons. Even a red or green might have had some use but these aren’t something I can see really needing for something later. Hopefully the right feedback gets to them and they don’t make a bad choice for something later with the blind box approach.
 
Yeah, if they'd done this with the armory knights I'd own exactly none of them. I know why they're doing this as a money maker but it's such a weird shift after the knights were really their best customer experience setup they've had - in stock, sufficient numbers that mostly everyone who wanted them got what they wanted (I was still able to get the two best selling ones weeks after they first went on sale), shipped relatively fast, just a good, efficient way to put action figures in our hands.
 
They go to a lot of cons and I could see these being good entry level items for people discovering them at cons. $20 to try them out vs $55 to try them out is much more likely someone unfamiliar with them to take a chance on. I just wish they offered a full set online and made the chase just a chase in the blind boxes. I probably would have bought a $100 set of these 5 colors but the completist in me would wouldn’t let me just get one or two blindly.
 
Got the email tonight that my blue snake warrior/Thygarr combo pack and orange dragon kit has shipped.

No movement on the skeleton graveyard 4 pack I ordered a few weeks ago, but they are working through quite a few things coming in at once. Though I was hoping I'd get that before Halloween so I could shoot some pics with 8 skellies, but we'll see.
 
I don't know why I did it this way, but I ended up getting an extra Kraggnar for the orange dragon head separately instead of getting the package deal so I've been sitting on that figure waiting for the head for what, year and a half? Ridiculous behavior on my part, but I'm looking forward to building one more dragon man for the legion.
