That is a very good point about digital comics and games (and cryptocurrencies)!

Yea I feel that. We all might be better off.
Yes. Finally! Also this come with the exclusive TSTDWBANFT or They-Said-This-Definitely-Won't-Be-A-Non-Fungible-Token for y'all.

Yep, I'm 100% in agreement with you on that if that wasn't clear. I'm not really interested in digital anything, to be quite honest.
I'm one of those old timers that thinks that we're already too dependent upon the internet and the "cloud." Having been born in the mid 70's, I'm just old enough to remember when the common person didn't even have access to the internet. My first time having access was in computer labs in late high school and college. I shudder to think what what happen to us today if we suddenly lost that (although I doubt we'd care much about action figure collections at that point).

I do understand wanting to profit from the whole NFT/crypto thing, so I dont question McFarlane there, but I would still prefer there be a physical BAF involved as well.
These digital figures McFarlane is doing now are just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
"Last week, McFarlane Toys announced a new, fresh idea that has everyone on board..."
Had me rolling right off the bat.
