Mattel has recently upped the price on MOTU figures to around 25-27 dollars, and they're wanting people to invest in the whole years worth of figures instead of people just buying what they want. In addition to this, only a few months worth of toys will be shown at a time. You are in essence paying for several waves of figures you may not care about and have no idea what they will look like until they're ready to be released. Mattel also has a problem with releasing obscure characters before doing needed updates to well known characters. It would be like if Hasbro didn't do a ME Jinx but did an Ice cream Soldier. Plus characters they have done, not everyone has or was able to get a hold of them. There are still people that don't have a He-man figure from a fucking MOTU line and that is inexcusable. Doesn't help that Mattel has notoriously bad QC. Figures with two left feet, right leg on left side, left on the right. No hands, missing accessories, bleeding paint apps. And it's not like the Amazon Joes or anything like that, this happens a whole lot with Mattel. Mattel has crap customer service which makes the previous problem even worse. Oh and Mattel has stated that they pretty much don't give shit about the line and if it doesn't meet the minimum number of people devoted to buying a whole years worth of figures, the line is gone. I swear, as much as TF and Joe fans complain about Hasbro, those are nothing compared to Mattel. I have never seen a Toy company hate it's products and handle them as badly as Mattel. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell they completely screwed the DC line up, though I'm pretty sure it has to do with releasing a repainted Batman in just about every line and too many Green Lantern related Characters.

Man, it does sound like Mattel sucks. I just want the GJCC to get their store up and running. I wanna buy a Footloose. Seems like their QC is okay from what I've seen.
