Which I do myself. Even in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd FSS's there were more figures I didn't like as opposed to the few I did like but still subscribed and put the ones I didn't like on auction at eBay starting at 99 cents and watched the wolves fight over it like raw meat and still profited so the figures I did keep actually costed me nothing.

A good way to look at it, yes... plus adding to what you said, there's no way someone is going to sell their mediocre figures for less than $30-40... I mean I thought Flagg was a poo stain, but he's still hovering over $80!
That also brings up what you and I consider mediocre... Universally, Grand Slam was anything but... however I love ARAH inspired figures, he was one of the first I ever got as a kid, so I was actually very happy to get him. Same with Tan Grunt, I had the glider as a kid. As hated as Windmill is, he's a fucking quirky-ass figure from left field... I would have preferred his American version sure, but the India version is goofy as all get out and I love it! There are figures everyone else here loves to death that I find boring and useless... but that's just our opinions. Yet they're spoken as fact. And as much as I want Golobulous and the Royal Guard, I'm not sure how anyone thinks the Club could do that based on their previous releases. It would require a lot more than simple kitbashing and parts swapping. I'm a fan of the Club, don't get me wrong... but even I know they have limits. If Hasbro themselves have a hard time just getting us figures, (as explained at JoeCon 2016) I know the Club surely does too. Just enjoy these while they last... |

Before worrying about recreating that stuff, let's get the fundamentals out of the way, please. Plus, you'll attract latecomers to ME like me that can actually bring new support/funds to FSS and increase the chances of it continuing. I've been collecting ME all of about two months now. Closing in on 250 figures already, have most of what I want and just waiting for those "collection completers" like Golobulus, Royal Guard, ToxoViper, HydroViper, HardBall, etc to convince me to buy a subscription and pay for future FSS series instead of just cherry-picking specific characters via eBay. I'm glad we're finally getting a Blizzard and Crystal Ball. If they look pretty close to the source material, I'll get those either way. But most of this set is a pass for me, so I'm hoping if there's an FSS8 it makes up for a lot of the misses here in 7. Last edited by edgecrusher; 11-03-2017 at 10:46 AM.. |

If this FSS lineup has proven anything, it's that there is demand, in varying degrees, for every figure. I think this sub is a total failure, others absolutely love it top to bottom.
I still don't think we agree on any basic concepts as it relates to the sub- I, for one, would prefer damn near 100% of characters that don't have an ME release of some kind, yet others have been clamoring for Tundra Stalker for quite a while. If he can't agree on something as simple as new characters versus V2s, etc, then there's no way we'll every agree on a 13 figure line up. that being said, I do feel this sub lacks the balance we've seen in previous line-ups.

I agree... somewhat.
Every sub for me has been 50/50... so I get half of what I want, then try to sell/trade the ones I don't want. Someone will want my stinker female Doc, right? lol

Of course there will never be uniform agreement, all we can do is express our opinions of it and hope they take note.
The one thing that would truly be a shame is if ME ends without providing an ME version of the fundamental figures from the ARAH lineup. More than happy for them to make every single post-'90s figure to their heart's content, so long as it doesn't prevent us from ever getting the classics. |

Honestly, he's kinda sketchy. When I send him money sometimes he mails me figures, but most of the time he just goes on weekend-long cocaine and hooker binges.
Just kidding. Thanks man!

You’re going to have to support that there was actual demand for the figure prior to the Club deciding to make it which instigated the choice to make it. Otherwise it’s simply a matter of the club’s common practice to utilize existing designs that Hasbro had already completed the paint masks and design work for, which means it has nothing to do with fan demand but laziness on the part of the Club to produce a figure Hasbro already did the prep work for. Why go through the trouble of doing all that work for a new figure when Hasbro already did it?
Granted, if the Club made figures nobody at all wanted there would still be a small number of Joe fans that would buy them no matter what, but overall they'd be out of business if they didn't listen to the fans at least sometimes.

There has yet to be a FSS wave that I wanted 100%...if there was, I would have subscribed. For example, in 7.0 I think I only want Arctic CC and the Dreadnok Kaos, although that might change as more mock-ups are revealed.

I agree with the perception that, with seemingly only a few fss lines left, we should have gotten original characters, not another hawk, another cc, another stalker, another dusty, etc.
