I feel that Dwight Stall is to blame for a lot of the changes to our beloved line, but I don't blame him for everything.

Honestly if any of "US" (3.75 collectors) were put in charge, we all know where our focus would be. So I can't blame a guy for putting his heart into his job. When Vonner was around he was obviously a 3.75" guy considering Legends weren't in production the first few years of MU. Plus to Dwight's credit Legends are selling really well (I have seen over 5 restocks of the Ulton BAF wave and already 3 restocks of the Rhino wave at my TRU), so he is probably looking like the golden child to Hasbro right now.

At the end of the day I can see some of his points, like regardless of the size of the figure the cost to manufacture has got to be close to the same. It just sucks because the changes came at a time where MU was really chugging along. I can honestly say there were some MUs that I never saw on pegs and waves like Angel/puck were so good that sometimes the entire peg would be empty. I have never seen that for Legends, there are always some warmers.

So my biggest complaint is the age old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and there seem to be way too many changes to a line that was already quite successful IMO.

This is from the Legends thread, but we actually get some love from Dwight in this interview, I hope we do get a Mandrill!
