I know a lot of this will likely get scrubbed by a mod, but I want to add in my two cents as to why the sociological side comes out so readily:

There's going to be discussion about the characters attached to the figures being released, that much is unavoidable. Part of the problem, though, is that rather than saying that one doesn't like X character (which is totally valid, because who the hell is gonna like every character that comes down the pike?), some people will use it as a platform. It becomes less "I don't like this character" and more "this character is a waste of plastic/writing" and "this character only exists to pander to X" or "this character is emblematic of the ruination of comics/toys because of X connection to Y movement/political stance/culture/gender/etc".

Which, really, is getting really into hot-button territory. Honestly, that bull doesn't matter. If you don't like the character/figure, don't buy the character/figure, but don't take a piss on the people that enjoy that character/figure. Unless it's connected to a larger problematic situation (IE Secret Empire), nothing about the character/figure is going to be impacting your life in any significant way just by virtue of existing.

The same goes for this whole discussion about MCU figures - if you don't like them, you don't like them, and that's totally cool. That doesn't mean you have to make page-scrolling posts about why your opinion is the right one and needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

In the words of Bill and Ted, just
