Yeah, I never understood why they switched them up, it is wacky.
Is it ok to say wacky? |

What the hell was that all about? That rant was aimed at me? All I said is that Hasbro does not intentionaly make things wrong just to fix them later. It's not a big conspricy, they jusy make stupid decisions sometimes.
Agreed. Quote:
It was half sarcastic. That's why I used the operative phrase "I'm probably being an ass," because I was. Try not to take it so personally. I love these things as much as the next guy. I was mainly excited about fixed crotches. See that part with me *hearting* them.
Everything will be alright, just breathe... but... To spur further argument out of the dedicated Hasbro masses... the profits to resell you 25 new "fixed" figures, when you already bought 25 of the old figures are even greater. Plus to retool just hands or something like a crotch isn't as expensive as doing an entire mold, plus they can reuse the mold on like 496 other "fixed" figures. and further on that subject... Remember that these are just plastic figures, nothing to get religiously fired up about. But I will say that the more we scrutinize their processes, the more we can curtail "fixes" in the future. Never give any company that you give money to a "pass", no matter how hard they work. Always bust there balls, it keeps them on their toes, especially as artists, all the time and makes them want to produce better results. If we all said, Duke arms are ok, at least we have new figures, nothing would ever change. No one has to be angry, but keep the discussion and debate "active", and get those comments back to Hasbro. to continue... I mean really, come on, was the viper hand not caught at the prototype or engineering phase? When the QA guy put the gun in his hands didn't he say "Wait, this may not work?" Or was the hand made at the behest of bean counters who decided it could be reused on the tele-viper pilot? Besides, they could always spend a bit extra next year, when the budget allowed for a correction, to re-tool the viper hands and re-release it in an exclusive TRU multi-pack next year. Ok, I'm really just being an ass at this point. *Kisses* |

*Hiss Hiss* Someone is being catty...
And no, that rant wasn't aimed specifically at you. Put your jump to conclusions mat away, and re-read the first paragraph of my rant not directed specifically at you. It's just general speculation (Speculation is based on conjecture, not facts). Try not to be offended. You can come over and we can spoon if you want? My wife might get upset and I cannot promise my Pug, Mr. Buns, won't lick your bathing suit areas, but you are welcome to spoon with me.
