I don't think they would devote the time for something that won't. So for things like statues/figures/etc they probably monitor prior sales of a character and move on. Since Supergirl seems to have pieces yearly, she must sell relatively well.<br /><br />As for variants, I think it is different. Comic stores need to order a certain number of books to get a variant cover (usually at least 25 reg per 1 variant). And then stores can price the variants what they want and sell it. Because of supply and demand rules, DC won't put a variant cover on a low seller. The store probably wouldn't order 25 issues to get the cover because they wouldn't recoup the cost.<br /><br />Mid-sellers like Supergirl might get a boost in store purchases with variants ... that would put more issues on the rack for possible impulse buys.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-72049482785542326882014-04-12T21:24:15.661-04:002014-04-12T21:24:15.661-04:00That does sound awesome.

I'm curious if it has any economic value on the characters/comics of the specific merchandize I'm buying. For instance, does DC count the Supergirl merchandize as an indicator of the strength of her comic/sales? Or for Wonder Woman? (I'm not really worried about DC canning Batman or Superman any time soon, of course.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-46991808333542862092014-04-11T07:51:49.201-04:002014-04-11T07:51:49.201-04:00Yeah!
