The problem with Scale: An action figure woes rant

 Action Figures have multiple scales. OG MOTU are close to 1:14 scale. Kenner's Star Wars and Hasbro's GI Joe (80s) are 1:18. Modern lines like Marvel Legends, NECA toon and Mirage TMNT started at 1:12, but have slowly been drifting to 1:11. MOTUC and Ultimates! are 1:10, while WWE straddles the line between 1:12 and 1:11. Some stuff is compatible with 1:10. Others, not so much. 

Back when Shapeways was around some 1:10 stuff could be found. Now it's become harder. Hell, even 1:12 is a pain in the ass, since Japanese 1:12 is not the same as American 1:12.

I've been somewhat lucky that places like Ringside Collectibles, who carry WWE, AEW, and some Original Wrestling parts that can be used with Super7 Ultimates!  also, Figures Toy Company, whose older figure entries were somewhat iffy. The newer Ultimate crew and Ultimate fans are way better. Also, Super Action Stuff has helped on SOME Things, not Everything. Even Playmates has had some 1:12 stuff that kinda works with S7, but that's getting ahead of myself.

Now with P01135809 being a total Dumbass, Tariffs are fucking everything up. If it was hard to get 1:10 stuff before, now it'll be harder. Even getting PVC sheets that aren't expanded foam sheets has gotten harder out here in the boonies. Big Ocean as P01135809 would say. Having to Arts and crafts stuff without fancy schmancy 3D Printers or real talent is a mega bitch! Been experimenting with UV Resin and I got the wrong UV light... fuckdammit! 

But back on topic. Getting 1:10 accessories is a pain. Todd has the occasional pew pew pack but that's not a regular thing. Much less now that he lost the DC License. NECA is unaffordable gor me, since they're asking for $37 to ship a single item to Puerto Rico. If the pack is $40, it becomes over $80. Fuck that noise. Super7 well, they're not in a great position thank to P01135809 and his "stable genius" plan of screwing American Customers. Also, Super7 is a bit clueless in the Accesory pack area. Most of their accessory packs are chairs for Figures that can barely sit down.

But back on the whole Scale thing:

1:18, since it's small, gets playsets and vehicles, but since it's so small, they rarely have props aside their own accessories.

1:12 and 1:6 get a bit more love on the prop department, since Barbie is the queen of 1:6 and most girl toys cater to that scale. 1:12 is the boy toy scale and rarely had prop support until recently. 

I regret not buying some of the Just Kidz  1:12 looking vehicles back when I worked at Kmart to use as background decoration. 

The only 1:10 scale vehicles I see online are RC cars and those are expensive. 

But can you see the issue or is my rant is all over the place? Just like action figure scales.

Turtles are supposed to be around 5'2". Meanwhile Ryu is 5'9". 

There's nothing worse than buying 1:12 accessories and SURPRISE! They're MEGO Scale (which is about a 1:9... you can get away with 1:10 Figures, but true 1:12, Nope!) OR buying 1:12 accessories that are for ASIAN 1:12, which is smaller than 'Murican 1:12.  So, it's WEIRD to be on Arts and Craft Stores and Toy departments at your favorite retailer with a measuring tape.
