I don't have an issue with the subscription service but these figures, especially the good ones easily cost 100 or more. I wonder how the sub service helps in a real situation.

While the range may not be as large as HLJ and the like, new Japanese figures are available through Diamond on a monthly basis.

Interesting. I wonder what the price would be?

Household name by 2040 when I'll be 92. Doubt I'll have the concerns prioritized to place anime figurines at the top of what's important in life. LOL

Nice goal though.

Nice concept, but I'm not sure how it would work. Most collectors want specific figures, not just anything. Most of the more desireable figures already sell out in preorder. I'm not sure what leverage this company would have that would get figures from the manufactuer at a reduced price.

This sounds really neat if it doesn't cost too much.

I've often wondered how sugoi was actually spelled...
