Ugh.
Beanie Babies make more sense.
But yes, I know the drill. Lots of people look at our hobby the same way. I don't understand how this one has any crossover appeal, but millions of dollars in spent money say otherwise.

If they made the original Hartland statues all with the same body, same pose and same face, but just changed the uniform, it would be the equivalent of Funko Pops.
