User blog:MoshiFreak04/Less Recolors, More New Characters!

Is it just me, or has recoloring old character molds turned Mini Lalaloopsy into a money-pinching scheme? I don't mean to hate on MGA, but after a while we kind of get sick of new Crumbs or new Pillow or new so-and-so. But, on the other hand, all these recolors could be a good thing for the lucky collectors (including me) who snagged up these characters in their original 1st wave release. Whether the possible impact of this new holy grail of money-making MGA's is good or bad really more or less depends on how you look at it, and I say that it can be both demending on who you are and what kind of collector you are.

For example, if you grabbed all the heavily-duplicated characters (e.g original eight and Holly Sleighbells) during their core W1 release, it would be a good thing because it gives those figures some value. If you're a parent with a daughter/son who simply has to have every Lala product out there, regardless of price? Not so much, considering neither you or your child is really getting your money's worth.

Either way you look at it, I think it's become evident that MGA needs to release more new Mini characters and cool it with the recolors. What do you think, Lalaloopsy Land Wiki?
