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.(Whatever floats your boat, man... but you cannot deny that there ARE those who don't share your love for the things... I'm proof of that...)

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.(And this is why I prefer the COLLECTOR'S line. Sound's like a perfect example of common sense, don't you think?)

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.
(No argument here. You have a point. And I dislike the Spectacular Spider-man figures because I just can't accept ANY Spider-Man figure that lacks good articulation, kids toy or collector's item...)

Spoken like someone who hasn't seen the awesome Maverick figure! :P(Put your tongue back in your mouth... you're probably one of the few lonely people that actually knows... or CARES who Maverick is.)

The upcoming ones, Cyclops and Iceman, are very nice. Though the ball-joints suck.

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.(Anyone that collected 6 inch figures would look at this and have to fight the urge to tell you about yourself. First they dick us over with poor quality figures, then spotty releases... which seem to be the norm with EVERYONE, suddenly... now this. And tell you what... you tell them to shrink the price to match the scale, and I'll try to deal with it. But until then, just try to deal with me... lord knows, I have to put up with you.)

Again, read the quote.

There were several factors involved, but basically I stopped collecting them altogether.

Okay, try this one... why did the size of the figures shrink... and the price didn't? That good enough for you?
