Though it's a good article (just read the entire thing), I really don't like the fact that the guy is basically saying "Stop complaining about characters you don't want and suck it up". At least that's the vibe I get from it. Because I think it's fair for people to be concerned about having to buy characters they don't care about because of the subscription.

But there's some very good points made, such as C&C being taken out and we're still paying more than retail. If Mattel can't lower the prices, then make the figures better with a vast amount of accessories, like MOTUC. Something they could do for the accessories is have little nods to certain comics, for example, there's a 25th Anniversary GI Joe Cobra Commander figure that comes with a cylinder/cone thing of radioactive crystals. That's a nod to a certain episode. So Mattel should take notes there. Also, EVERY figure should come with an interchangeable head. For Starman, have a maskless head. For Jay Garrick, have a young head. For Atrocitus, have a calm head? (Maybe not, he is the red lantern after all). But for future figures, each should have an interchangeable head. And if they can't think of one, just have a calm and angry head. God knows I'm sick of the Batman Legacy Batman looking pissed off all the time.

All and all, I think this whole situation could be avoided with a "I don't want the figure of this month" option. If I signed up, I know I'm good for 3 months because I want Starman, Atrocitus, and Jay Garrick. But if, for what ever reason, Shaggy Man won the poll and he's the first large figure we get, I want the option to say "No thank you, I don't want to pay for this figure because I don't want it. So please don't send this figure to me." Just give us that option, and I'm sure most people would actually be okay with the subscription. I know I would find the subscription a lot more appealing than it is now.
