You can't help these things Bunai, there is always going to be popular and unpopular pages.

It isn't unpopularity that is the issue. it is lack of knowledge, maintenance, organization of such pages. All the images on those pages are from figure site that have things properly set up.

I'd rather just make Crypton merchandise page and pile things onto it. I would rather not, we once tried something like that, didn't work then and won't work now.

I'd rather The Dollfie and Pillip dolls have their own pages as there is now enough information on both sections to warrant their own pages. The difference is these topics have the ness. information, its just nobody has gotten around to adding them. Ergo, a topic that is lacking in detail but just hasn't had an editor take time to fill things out, is not the same as a topic that has little detail to discuss in the first place. Some subjects like the Dolls, just didn't have much initially to talk about also but do now due to the numerous releases. This makes the merchandise they cover notable for their their continued production.

However, I do agree on there needing something done to figurines wherein not much research can be done on the subject, Garage Resin kits were always like this for example. Some of them with a single kit can all pretty much exist in one page as they can be summed up in pretty much a single paragraph or less.

I do not find the company behind any of the merchandise the issue at all, there is always going to be a lot of CFM merch as there is always going to be tons of Miku songs released (3,000 a month is no joke when everyone else struggles to get put 100 @o@' ). This really isn't what we should take into account at all.

The real issue is, always has been, how to handle things.

I look at these things this way... The One Piece wiki is in the same boat and most merchandise covers the main characters the Straw Hats. They give each company or series of figurines space to make a page, even if there isn't much to talk about. There are other wikias such as the MLP who do something similar too.

In fact, our lack of giving the figurines their own pages when their based on a series is actually the oddity here. We stuff it all in a corner... This is really bad.

Example of one such page, I would love to have our pages set up like this with such detail. This page also started out like our information is and they were originally a shadow of what they are now.

In fact, here is the page as I originally set it up when I was just creating a space for the POP figurines to breath on.
