Why would you take this as a negative?
1) This encourages the fans to participate in the active production of a figure.
2) The fans - if there are enough people funding the project - will benefit with a price drop and other potential rewards.
3) There are/were at least 2 other companies producing the 'Inferno' mold. rather than flooding the market with yet another rendition of the same character - MMC looks to be attempting to minimize their costs - as well as eliminating overstock - which of course costs $$.
4) Again - making a controlled number - this prevents retailers from overestimating and buying excess stock. This not only prevents the overstock for retailers, but also prevents the flooding of the market of the overstock; the massive discounts that eventually comes with it (as retailers panic), and the damage to the third party's (MMC) reputation ( As shoppers see the product on massive discount - thinking that it's an inferior product etc.)
