The all too high expectations for a product that is not aimed at what you want. Why should a company cater to some sad old geek that wants some obscure product that won't make them a a profit?

Your "His cape is the wrong color!" mentality. Your "I've been a fan before you born!" mentality. Your "Well, I'm smarter than the average fan!" mentality.

The best thing about all this, and I mean the absolute BEST thing about all this is when they finally release a "Blue Marvel" action figure...

You're going to be on here bitching and moaning about how his hair is the wrong color, or about how his boots are wrong, or how he is not in the costume that you wanted, or about whatever goddamn imperfection you find that is not up to your lofty bullshit standards.

So you know what?

FUCK YOU.

There's your "I struck a nerve" for you, you fucking asshole.

Grow up and fuck off.

Lol Good morning!

I guess I did strike a nerve and to think, you told me I needed to calm down with all this animus welling up within you.

Just for the record, dude, when spending money on any product, you earn the right to be critical and have expectations. That sort of discerning fandom (or patronage) actual helps deliver things that are of high quality that everyone enjoys. Acquiescing and placidly accepting anything and everything shoveled your way doesn't sharpen the resolve of any company to please the individuals that give them money. Just the opposite, it inspires them to go on larks and deliver things no one wanted based on capricious whims or a general "who cares, they'll buy what we sell them" attitude.

Whether you believe it or not, constructive criticism has shaped a great deal of the Marvel Legends line from retirement of the Bucky mold, to the addition of more hand accessories, and the delivery of complete redrafts of figures improperly sized. Let's take the Silver Surfer as one example. On the Fwoosh and here, years ago, I posted what I believed would make for the best construction and design for Norrin and Hasbro delivered nearly exactly what I was looking for down to the the butterfly shoulders, multiple hand sets, and head modeled after Ron Lim's run on the book. Now I don't take credit for it, but the coincidence is far too uncanny to ignore and I do believe Hasbro trawls these threads in some capacity. Contrary to your, uhhh, conniption, I'm quite happy with the fig (along with many others like Kang, Man-bun Herc lol, all of the 80ths, etc) and, provided they put some thought into it, will likely be happy with the Blue Marvel.

Look, I've typed two whole two paragraphs before work, again, without calling you names, or losing my composure.

Also, while I knew you had it in you, I ain't mad at you son and if you ever want to converse again in the future, hopefully, without the "spaz", I won't hold this true "diatribe" against you.
