And for me personally, my 3 favorite characters are Stinkor, Spikor & Clawful. Spikor never even made it into the line. And right when they got to Stinkor & Clawful they made those stupid statues. So that was like a really bad stinging burn for me personally. I collected the entire line, I had every single toy released. Every single variant. Then making my favorite characters into those statues was the same as kicking me in the balls as hard as you can. I don't like statues, I like action figures. Big difference. Also, Clawful's mace snapped in half the second I tried to put it in his hand/claw.

And then there was that whole fiasco with Classics & Mattycollector. Mail order only, the shipping was stupid overpriced & people had nothing but trouble ordering. I didn't even waste my time with Classics. They charged like $20 for shipping. I couldn't afford to collect that line.

Its weird, I think back with some wicked joy at those early 'Matty' days. I snuck home from work (the website was blocked at the time) to get my orders in the minute they went up. So glad when they went to the sub model.
