Hi Guys,
Lots of collectors make lost of suggestions… thanks to that K&C is never short of ideas for new figures… but that’s the easy part!
The hard part is trying to balance all those ideas with a proper work schedule, budget and a sensible release timetable. We appreciate our collector’s enthusiasm but please remember there are many other factors to consider.
We value all suggestions from the marketplace on our products. Constant improvement is how K&C became the company it is today. But we can’t help but notice that some of those who are so eager to suggest new products… the next day complain we release too many things they want to buy… and too quickly! Ah well, I guess that is a good problem to have!
Another important factor that is sometimes overlooked is that the ‘hard corps’ posters on the forum are a relatively small percentage of the total forum membership. Now writing this is meant in no way to denigrate their obvious enthusiasm for the hobby but K&C must take into account that these ‘likes… dislikes… opinions(good and bad)’ might not always be reflective of the larger market as a whole.
With that said, this forum is an important part of our hobby and your views are indeed relevant and valuable. They are still, however, one ingredient in the decision making process of what K&C (and most other companies) decides to design, produce and sell.
As always,
Happy Collecting!
