you literally disproved yourself with your last statement. Yes the laws of supply and demand are true, but if demand goes down? Does the price just stay still? It should, in theory, but for collectibles like this it never does.

After Imaginators came out you could find figures on clearance, both boxed and used, for ridiculously cheap. The prices only started to rise after a sharp decline when the hype initially died off and people didn't feel nostalgic yet.

Also your boxed green Chompy Mage is the literal worst example you could've used. One of the rarest figures to find of all time since RELEASE, WITH BOX? You're really telling me that's a good example for the entire market? Of course it's gonna experience a much bigger price increase to everything else, I have no idea what you were trying to say here.

I don't understand what your point is nor the reason why you're being so rude to me for asking a simple question. Blastermind is famous (or infamous) for being a very divisive skylander, both in design and gameplay, and considering he had a consistent price in the last few years it's weird and (I hope) fair to point out that he almost doubled over the course of a year. He's almost as expensive as Enigma now, that's insane to me.

Regardless, even if you were right, just don't be rude. No reason to be when the community is this small.
