2) You must resume producing key supporting characters, IE: anyone with a speaking role in more than 4 episodes
Well, there are some cool figures that didn't last 1 episode, so I wouldn't limit it.
As for 5 PoA for less money, I don't know how I'd feel about it. I think I would be very selective on the ones that are that way. ..buy 'em if I like 'em. It depends on the quality too. If the sculpt and pain apps are bad, then I'm probably all out. If they do a collectors and kids line, then I'd focus on the collectors line. Give us good, obscure figures (with sculpt, great paint apps and 10+ PoA) but limit the # per year, I can do that while they still catering to the kids with the other line.
I'm still on the fence about New Trilogy figures, about whether I'll get into them or just focus mostly on OT figures since they mean more to me. It'll probably depend on how I feel about the movie. If the 6" figures come to fruition, it depends on what they look like. I don't think I'll go all in, but I might get my main heroes, villains and Bounty Hunters.
