@redon:
You´re rigth, but there are a lot of rare WCF and Shiki is one of the most expensive (with Pellona). I know Shiki is first OP rare WCF but even so is very expensive.
With actual POP policy (limited stock) I´m sure MegaHouse could get a lot of money with Shiki.
I dont know much about the character, and why ppl like it.
But personally, i might skip his POP. Cos he'll be expensive and I dont even know much about him.
Im sure they will make money with shiki.
But how much is shiki profit compare to characters like Kizaru, Akainu, Kid, Rayleigh, Booney, ….or other well known character.
@Legato:
@Blacksmith: Expensive after it's sold out doesn't help Megahouse unless they do a rerelease… The money has been made, the collector's demands make for a higher price, but only retailers and resellers ect. get to pocket that extra value.
Rarity has caused for Megahouse to sell out pretty much every run of POPs they do, but that's about it.
Rare WFC does help Banpresto, they have a completely different system I think, for every rare figure they sell a box of the rest and since everyone wants the rare ones... you do the math.
Totally agree. That's why i said Shiki can be like Smoker.
Megahouse dont make anything when smoker was so rare and expensive.
So they re-release him…....but the sales isnt that good.
If they re-release shiki with massive stock, will they make lots of money?
Or they will make more money with releasing character like luffy/nami/robin again. Luffy, robin, nami, chopper will cost less, but they can sell him as expensive as shiki.
There are reasons why we keep getting luffy again and again and again.
