Kind of a slap in the face of the collectors to constantly reissue figures/cash-grabs until it?s no longer fun to get them. But not everyone is a Toy Collector, some just get what they like and move on. And Rider is definitely not the only line I collect that CONSTANTLY abuses their fans (ANY Godzilla line from ANY maker) with pointless (for moi wallet & I ) cash-grab reissues. Also, I use my collecting to control my rampant OCD.

Man, that's kind of a shit hot-take. Not everyone's been in the collecting scene for 34 years. Not everyone who's been in the general collecting scene for for a long time has been toku and SHF the whole time. Not everyone in in the toku SHF collecting scene has the disposable income to buy like a dozen of these figures a month like you do. "Getting what they like and move on" is collecting. Completionists are not the only True Fans. I'm sorry your OCD makes you feel like you need to buy figures you don't want, buy for the vast majority of collector, reissues are great
