I'm talking MCU, not comic. You know, like all the other MCU characters I said next to him.

I got that, I just meant that he has a 4 inch fig, which as a more fringe character means they're less likely to give us a new version.

And that Smurf remark is the very thing I'm talking about as being pissy and personal attacks that make us look bad as fans.

It's snarky, I grant you. Not really angry though.

I'm not blind optimistic. I'm looking at toy market trends and factors associated to that.

I can tell you're a more positive person. But as a 4 inch collector there has been an undoubted drop in quality since Dwight took over, and criticising that isn't really a bad thing. I mean, if you really believe they read these threads and what we say might sway them, then saying 'everything's great' would be a mistake wouldn't it?

A big part of my critique of Hasbro's choices stems from what I said to Jackieboy: I genuinely believe 4 inch has been squeezed to enable the extra value for 6 inch. I believe they've robbed Peter to pay Paul. And as a big fan of Peter... you get it.

But hey, whatever, wait until the panel. I'd rather hear what hasbro has to say and show than talk about hearsay without evidence too. So how about we wait and see. Though I do expect some decent reveals, the big stuff I don't expect until next year or the year after. Depends where the focus is going to be right now.

I'll say something positive here: I find the Shocker and Tombstone reveals very pleasant surprises.

I'll say this about 3.75" line, they have been doing a good job of getting Spider-man villains/characters out. I had faith they would do a better Shocker than the one released in the Spider-man line. Now I have greater hope for a 616 Scorpion.

My biggest letdown in the line so far has been Vulture. He was nothing he could (and should) have been. However, this Shocker looks good, with the more basic artic not really affecting him, and nice paint detail (as far as we can tell) that Vulture should really have had. I hope you're right about Scorpion...
