Hey everybody

 

I have a general "how much?" question rather than a specific one. I was looking over Etsy statistics for my shop- so first off, thank you LRG for your interest, I get twice as much traffic from these boards as I do from google searches- anyway, top two searches I get hits off of are Ultraman and Pokemon. Ultraman I have those 6"-8" vinyl figures and Pokemon I sell 2" hollow plastic figures in six packs. Both are $10. People buy the Ultraman figures, but the Pokemon sets I have not sold a one. They get starred or liked or whatever the Etsy version is like crazy but no one buys them.

 

Why?

I do other small figures in 4 packs for $10 (Kamen Rider, Ultraman and the like) and they sell but I can't seem to get anyone to jump on what in a way is one of my most popular products. What am I doing wrong? What does it take to get people to actually catch 'em all?? HALP!

I don't know that it's a matter of cost but instead that people might not want to buy random collections as much as they do for your Ultraman figures. Maybe if the sets are organized by evolution lines, elemental types, or based on the Pokémon Kids sets they originally come in, you'd see more interest.

Baltan makes a very good point, and I also don't know many adults who are in the age-range to be collecting 80's toys that also collect pokemon.

Well, there's a few of us! Not many, but a few. I think those favorites or whatever on Etsy indicate demand regardless of that, just that you're attracting too many window shoppers. Why? Hell if I know precisely.
