I'd love to meet the person who took and posted those Doomsday photos because I would love to thank them for Shutting this guy down. Only thing is now DC will have to Eliminate or Rename a character in the Red Lantern Corps I cannot Imagine DC Will be able to use Neit-Likk without having an issue
Oy vey. You do realize that Toyguru was not the CEO and Chairman of Mattel, right? You do realize he probably had over a dozen "bosses" he had to answer to?

No, I'm getting the impression you don't. You're basically just mad that DC got canceled and can't accept that in its' current format it simply wasn't popular enough to continue.

The better one was "what ever happened to the Black Costume Supergirl, Steel, and Flashpoint Plasticman? Will they every be released?" he answers "Why they are not 'cannon' anymore?" I replied "A cannon is an object used in warfare to disable enemy forces. IE a 12 pound Mountain Howitzer. A Canon is a Universe(s) associated with a Character(s)." adding "Why do you produce MOTU toys if there is no TV Show(s) anymore? BTW you just minimalized everyone who worked ad created DC's Universe from 1938 - 2011"
Oy vey....

Yeah, I'm not touching this one. Your beef sounds like it needs to be with Time-Warner, who probably told their buddies at Mattel that they wanted DCU to focus on their gigantic New 52 launch and the upcoming "Injustice" video game.

I'm willing to buy that Scott didn't necessarily care about DCU all that much. It was basically dropped in his lap after the retail line died. But imagining that he somehow had malicious intent behind the cancellation of CIE is just plain silly.

And getting angry that we're getting action figures that Scott said we wouldn't get is even sillier. The people crying about buying "Prisoner" Doomsday from SDCC when the Unleashed version was coming later are just as bad. You know what's more awesome than having the Unleashed Doomsday? Have both an Unleashed and a Prison Suit Doomsday. Seriously...Prison Suit Doomsday is a cool figure.
