When I worked In Mexico, then Costa Rica and Brazil the whole Latinx thing was the punch line to many a joke. If we weren't laughing at the concept we would laugh at trying to employ it as we spoke in a language where every noun is gendered. Then eventually loop around to words seemingly opposite genders like "la polla" and "el co?o". SJW ideas are always a good for a laugh anywhere that isn't the US.

If that's where they're at, then they should just scrap TVC altogether. Koska and Axe, again, both essentially head swapped repacks, need an exclusive retailer, but the 37 fucking troop builders that are diluting this line are fine for regular retail?
Nonsense. I'm glad I'm not a carded collector. I feel like a carded set would look pretty lame when 10 of the last 20 figures have been stormtrooper variants, and 20 of the last 30 have been clone or other trooper variants. So fucking lame!
If I'm going to overpay for "deluxe" and exclusives, give me some fucking inquisitors or Black Krrsantan, or literally anything other than a repack or troop builder.
Now you know how I've felt for years when every wave was full of lame ass named characters from shitty shows, movies, comics or games and kept the real stars of Star Wars, the Stormtroopers, from getting proper space on pegs. Seriously? How many random dudebros or dudettebras with light sabers do we need? After all these years we finally got flame troopers and mortar troopers are on the way. However, we still need sapper troopers, medic troopers, sniper troopers, comms troopers, engineer troopers, clerc troopers, etc...

Nobody cares about the "original 98" except for those that actually collected the Kenner line and somehow think recreating that line with modern figures would be an amazing accomplishment. Something tells me that is not a large cross sectional area. It doesn't seem like a great use of money to make a mold of Imperial Bathrobe Guy for the 5 people who think his absence will make their collection forever incomplete.

I would happily pay $20 for a 3.75 figure if I got the same selection, apps, accessories, and BAF pieces that Legends 6" gets
I would like to say I'd support a Marvel or DC line with those prices or even higher if the quality, paint apps, and included accessories were on par with JoyToy or Bossfight figures. I'd likely phase out my DCIH collection with better figures, but I'd cherry pick a Marvel line because the MU figures were so good.
