00:46:23 THE MAIN DISCUSSION

There's often online chatter about movie figures being “shelf warmers.” Shelf warmers are figures that hang around on shelves even when a new line is coming out. The live action movie lines are often referred to shelf warmers more so because adult collectors don't normally buy them. But if you look at your local toy aisle today, there will be figures released a year ago still there awaiting a home.
