Wrong. Even if you DO care, you can put aside childish fanboyism to admit they are good figures. You can't say with a straight face that the Goblin or Cap figures in this line are not very good figures.

- Mighty Muggs are so fun to collect, it's insane.
(Lemme clue you in on something... not everyone loves those things... I sure as hell don't...)
Wow, shocking! My point is that they put out a new and unique line that has a large group of collectors very happy. It's okay that you don't love them, but they ARE well made.

- They did a good line for Spectacular Spider-Man. While some are a bit wild (jetpacks, etc.), it's based on a children's cartoon show so that's to be expected. The actual figures themselves are nice.
(Have they given them moveable ankes and wrists yet? because that would actually make them nicer....)
Yes, it would. For us. But perhaps instead of going "WHY DON'T THEY THINK OF THE ADULTS OMGZ", you should realize they are children's toys. Those are specifically made for the younger crowd, where as MU and Legends, they cater towards us: the collector.
And the more moveable limbs, the more parts there are for children to break off.
Just use some common sense about this stuff.
Quote:
- The 3 3/4 Wolverine and the X-Men figures look very nice, and so far, nothing crazy with jetpacks and the like.
(I saw those... apparently you'll forgive Hasbro for ANYTHING.)
I don't "forgive" toy companies for bad action figures. That's infinitely retarded. They are good action figures, but you most likely dislike them for the same reason you don't like the Spectacular Spidey ones, which is fine. But again, they are based on a cartoon and geared to a younger audience.
Quote:
- The X-Men Origins: Wolverine line is pretty good. Nothing amazing, though wave 2/3 looks much better.
(Brown and tan Wolverine and Deadpool FTW. The rest can take a flying leap off a steep cliff.)
Spoken like someone who hasn't seen the awesome Maverick figure! :P
The upcoming ones, Cyclops and Iceman, are very nice. Though the ball-joints suck.
Quote:
There's really no reason to hate on the products Hasbro is putting out now.
(Like HELL there isn't.)
Exactly. There ISN'T. Nothing you mentioned was a reason to HATE on the products. At all. You're just bumhurt that 3 3/4 is taking a higher importance over Legends. Honestly, just deal. Things change. 6" has been the focus for years. They're doing something new now.
But either way, stop whining and moaning about it. Hasbro has said MULTIPLE times Legends is NOT done and more will be announced at SDCC.
