^ Sony & Mattel is apples & oranges. Sony could buy Mattel, swallow it whole and not even think twice about it.

What stores? Meijer, Walmart, Target. I've never seen a ML for over $14.99, $15.99 @ TRU. Even at 17.99, that's AFTER Target & TRU mark up the item to make their profit. MOTUC doesn't get sold in retail, so there's no retail mark up. Bottom line is they ARE making a profit, and I believe they're exaggerating quite a bit.

I see your points, but Matty is still 100% at fault for their current problems. They could have a much better marketing scheme form the jump. They also should have gotten MOTU back on the air in anticipation to the line coming out. The HUB would have been an excellent place to introduce this amazing show & line to a whole new generation as well as reminding the original fans. MOTUC commercials during eps of MOTU on The HUB? No brainer. Maybe there's more to it, usually is. But I don't see why this couldn't have been done.


I don't mind the obscure figures really. But to force subscribers into purchasing the higher priced figures of stuff most fans don't care about seems silly. Sub holders, being the major supporters of the line should get what they want to a certain extent. Star Sisters 3pk should not be forced on those who support you most. Also, wasting time & money making over sized figures like Granamyr for $80 instead of say, making a bunch more Ram Man's or a Modulok, Mantenna, Two-Bad, etc. Is quit foolish on their part. If this line ends before all the original characters are made it will be an epic fail on Matty's part. Again, I don't mind the obscure figures, but not at the expense of staples of the original line.

2013 will be my first sub, which I purchased before all this BS came out. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous after reading people's complaints about DR.
