Not knowing the actual father/daughter connection at the time a bunch of guys were calling the figure Boobstrike incessantly and he got so upset that another collector asked it to stop because it was bothering him so much (after another Hasbro guy mentioned that it was bothering Dwight). So, take it for what it's worth, but I was there and saw it. Again, I'd hope that's not a factor in his continuing dislike for the scale though. It was a minor event and it's hard for me to imagine he'd still be carrying that around. But...stranger things have happened.

Edit: If I'm remembering right it was the convention where the designer Richie gave us a tutorial on how to take apart the ME figures for customizing. So that would have been around 2008 at the Dallas convention.

That gives me at least two accounts of it(that I could find), so hey, it's still helpful.

It does connect some dots, though. After all, I'm sure many in the Joe fan base are also MU fans, so what better way to get back at them than to kill their line? It also possibly explains why he gets nervous during interviews when asked about the 3.75 stuff, as he's had bad experiences with that crowd.


Or he could just prefer Legends and this is nothing but conjecture. There's reasonable ground for both.
