Thank you, SLC! I don't even collect MOTUC, but I've been on the forums when I've got nothing better to do, and it's a treasure trove of entitled people incessantly whining :P Like he said, you may have put your money towards a subscription, and you are entitled to some answers, but nonstop whining about idiotic speculations and fears only make collectors looks bad. Even if they're not responding, they're still watching what we say!

Faith in the MOTUC creative team? No problem... faith in Digital River? No, none, never, nope.

OMG I love this! This should be stickied on every toy forum, and read by every collector... Kinda like the TOS agreement... This sums up why so many collectors, particularly Transformers fans, I find ridiculous and intolerable... So many think they can develop a better product, or accuse a brand of being a cheap repaint, not realizing the 9 months to a year's worth of 8 to 10 hour days, 6 days a week, put into making these things.... They think that Mattel or Hasbro just looks at a cartoon cell, clicks print, and out pops the toy....

Agree with SLC 100%. The nerd rage and vitriol coming out of the mouths of "adult collectors" as of late on this brand has been rediculous. I am a regular on he-man.org and the whining really gets out of hand. These guys, and girls, need nothing less than perfection. While I do agree mistakes have been made, some of which probably could have been avoided and border on carelessness, it has not taken away from my overall love of MOTUC. I take the POV that every figure I get in this line is one more I am just glad to have in my collection. And for me that outweighs the negatives by a very wide margin.

It's pretty disappointing to hear what Mattel goes through, but they're definitely not the only ones who come under assault from "disgruntled" collectors. Every time I hear the term "Hasblow" I can't help but want to roll my eyes so far back into my head that I swallow my tongue. If you're going to give a criticism of something you've gotta do it constructively so it'll help get things sorted out.
I definitely have my problems with products/lines from these companies, but being hateful about it doesn't help anything. I think big toy companies taking on collector lines aren't necessarily ideal. Especially if you compare what Mattel/Hasbro can give you for $20, to what a smaller company like NECA can. But bigger companies are more than likely going to have the money to shell out to secure more popular licenses, so it is what it is. I've honestly never done business with MattyCollector because MOTU doesn't interest me. However, I'm definitely all in when it comes to Thundercats, so I guess I'll see how that goes sooner or later. |

Hmm... I wonder what this means for those that didn't sub for the 2016 year? I'm in that group that didn't signup for the 2016 sub. None of the figures shown interested me, so I didn't renew my sub. So it looks like this might be tough for me to get now.
