Refusing to buy into a line you want to collect on the off chance they might not produce a certain character or complete a specific obscure team is indeed irrational and ridiculous.

I'm a completionist. I have every figure from MU whether they have the proper partner characters or not, but I don't think I'm wrong in saying that if you create a hero, you should create the hero's main arch enemy. I'm not a "doll collector" and I don't have the doll collector mentality, sorry. How would you feel if you signed up for the Voltron subscription and they only released 4 of the lion figures?

It's the same as people only buying certain figures from a line like when someone only buys X-Men or the MOTUC collectors who only buy characters who appeared in the mainstream cartoon. They dangle the worm by being cryptic about who's coming out. We get a lot of "Don't count out this character!! You MIGHT just see him." You seriously think that if a company made a Justice League toyline and told us right off the bat that we wouldn't EVER be getting a single Green Lantern or Wonder Woman or Batman, but we'll definitely get Superman and Hawkman and Booster Gold, that it would sell as well? Wouldn't you be just a tad weary if you weren't guaranteed that a line would be finished? It's like going to a see a trilogy and the 3rd movie never getting made. People get pissed. Get over it.

Uhm, I think you lost your point somewhere, because none of this makes any sense... and indeed the voltron subcription thing has absolutely no relevence since by the act of subscribing, you're insuring all five.
And seriously... doll collector? What does "doll collector mentality" even mean?
You're making no sense in this entire post at all.

I've been told I'm wrong for not liking the TF movies. I don't really care. I don't really care what you do or don't expect out of me, to be honest.All I know is I musta hit a hell of a nerve in you, lmao.
And I know the difference between an opposing viewpoint and an invalid one.
One I can respect. The other is just hilariously rediculous.

As long as they make a character you enjoy, that should be enough to make anyone happy. I miss not having Mia Dearden, but I'm happy enough to have Green Arrow and Black Canary. I miss not having Captain Marvel Jr, but that doesn't detract from the happiness that Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Black Adam bring.
Just because there was no hope for Miss Martian, Ravager, Bart Allen Kid Flash, or any other dozen Teen Titans didn't stop me from buying the Titans they *did* release.
"Even though she's one of my favorite characters, I'm not gonna buy Donna Troy because I have no need for a figure of her wearing a costume 30 years out of date," is a respectable opinion. "I'm not gonna buy Donna Troy because it's unlikely they'll ever release any of the other titans as they were 30 years ago, even though this is my favorite costume of her's" is rediculous.

Life's too short. If you want something, and owning it would make you happy, then get it. To pass it up, even though you want it and owning it would make you happy, just because they might not make a figure from it's team... yes, that's invalid.
