Subtle Watchmen references:
- The unwilling collectors’ names are Walter Kovacs and Laurie Juspeczyk (Rorschach and the Silk Spectre’s real names, respectively.)
- In front of Walter Kovac’s house, drawn on the door is a Rorschach inkblot.
(that’s it, pretty much.)
Questions:
1. Which action figures are the most popular to collect right now?
2. What’s the demographic for action figure collectors?
3. How frequently do you see the same faces (at your store?)
4. From your observations, does it appear as though an action figure collector collects solely from one series or from multiple ones?
5. Do some collectors feel more elevated or empowered by their hobby of collecting action figures?
6. Are there surges of action figure popularity during a certain time?
7. Who is more likely to collect a Lost/Heroes action figure: a simple fan who watches the TV show or a dedicated action figure collector?
