I just read the linked article-

Quote:

As the line continued, interest seemed to wane a bit, as Funko picked up licenses that never seemed to resonate with figure collectors.

Maybe it had less to do with them picking WILDLY POPULAR SERIES LIKE SKYRIM, FALLOUT, AND GAME OF THRONES and more to do with how 1 IN 4 FIGURES WOULD BREAK APART AT THE JOINTS WHEN YOU TRIED TO POSE THEM. Which by the way, is why you can currently run into almost any clearance or department store and pick up Legacy figures for like 3 bucks!

Quote:

However, in a new interview over at Action Figure Junkies, Funko CEO Brian Mariotti reveals that the Legacy Series is far from dead.

The interviewer, Kruse, asked Mariotti if the Legacy line was coming back, Mariotti literally only used 10 words to say Legacy "isn't dead" and Mad Max: Fury Road figs are coming, then IMMEDIATELY switched the conversation to how much he loves VNYL figures.

Cripes.

I'm not trying to bust your balls, Joe Moore, but when the CEO of the company treats the Legacy line as an afterthought, I would hardly call the line "far from dead", as you put it. The level of dismissiveness and total lack of acknowledgement from Funko about their obviously faulty product is disturbing and disappointing.

I'm sure Fury Road fans all want these figures to be excellent figures, I want them to be awesome, anyway, I just don't see any indication of that being the case.
