Vinyl Figures and the Mainstream Market
Written by Myra on August 21, 2008 – 9:21 pm -
What do you think about the Simpson Vinyls from Kid Robot? I have much respect for the Simpsons, but personally, vinyl figures? Is that right? They don’t look that bad, but I have a feeling that they are just trying to commercialize their cartoon show. Maybe the mixtures between the mainstream cartoon and the more somewhat underground vinyl figures are making me a tad uneasy.
If other mainstream cartoons, even popular musicians start trying to cash into these vinyl figures, won’t it dilute the whole industry a bit? Vinyl figures would start profiting more, but what about the value? Non-exsistent? There is simply no value if vinyl figures are produced solely for making money. What about the artists that are currently releasing vinyl figures for the love of it? Would they be pushed out of being able to release these vinyl figures because the masses would prefer something else?
