However, that seems to be a lot of figures for only 6 month's left in their subscription.
I think it was a case of "Most people already pretty much know what the remaining figures are, just not what order they're getting them in, so may as well show them."

You can be a "free thinker" and still have an objectively positive view of the line as a whole, and most of the figures in it. The problem is most self-professed "free thinkers" go so far in the opposite direction with rampant negativity that they basically become just as "Zombiefied" as the other side, only with a negative bent instead of a positive one. It's a phenomenon that's seemed even more prevalent with this line than most.

Ultimately I've been quite happy with about 90 percent of the figures they've produced. Maybe I have a higher tolerance level then most, but reversed shoulders (for example) don't bother me too much when most casual observers wouldn't even notice the difference. Likewise, delays and slow shipping and wonky websites and the like tend not to bother me if in the long run I still get a figure I enjoy.

There have been a few disappointments, but IMO very few real stinkers (not to be confused with Stinkors) in the line. Even characters that may be ridiculed or unpopular because of their concept or design (Here's lookin' at you, Mighty Spector) are still cool action figures (and in many cases were optional/not part of the main sub).

Has every figure been perfect? No. Have they done absolutely everything right? Not even close. But in the grand scheme of things, it's been a hell of a line (in a good way) and many of the headaches had more to do with the outlet selling it than the toys themselves.

tl;dr - It's all about the toys themselves for me. And this line has given me a lot of very cool toys.
