Someone referred to him as a 1:1 scale Recondo and that was hilarious. Please reveal yourself if that was your joke!

I probably missed the joke at some point within this long thread, but I can’t help but to wonder why so many keep calling him “Mustache”, instead of his name, Mark Maher.
It seemed like we used to call the others at Hasbro by their names on HissTank, whether that be Derryl Depriest, John Warden, Mark Weber, etc., but this guy doesn’t even get that courtesy. Did he do something I don’t know about which earned our disrespect? Quote:
It started after a HasbroPulse livestream in which he seemed drunk and didn't know jack shit about GI Joe. He spoke to fans like these weren't figures we've seen before. He even acted like "foot holes" for figure stands were a new thing. Imagine a high school teacher who had only heard of GI Joe in passing yet was then asked to give a presentation about "new" product. It was really weird and painful to watch.
He actually said that these figures come with "foot stands" which is a great accessory. That made me look at him sideways, as I was racking my brain trying to figure out what he said that was wrong. Then it finally came to me, that he just called figure stands "foot stands." I know it's a stupid thing, but when you go years calling them figure stands, and someone comes along and changes the name, then either that person was just nervous and froze up on the livestream, or that person really doesn't know much about Joes. If he is on the next livestream, hopefully, he can sincerely say, "And know I know...", and reveal some great Retro figures.

Hey Hasbro (I'll be nice and stop calling you Mustache), please look at Hisshissfangfang's work:
2020-04-11_01-49-37 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr If you cannot do new tooling, please use these builds and decos for the rest of this line. Please. Just do a running change in case you didn't go with this. I can wait another 6-8 months to see these figures on retail pegs.

I think the nickname is part in fun and part in jest. The fun part is that he has a huge mustache. The jest part is that when he was on the livestream, it seemed like he was drunk or high, and going over the Retro reveals like no one knew these figures have been released before. I can look past the inebriation. It probably helped him with the anxiety from being on a livestream. I can't look past the fact that he knew little about Joe. He also added to the the nerd rage when he revealed that they used the wrong SE head, and SS build, yet was saying that they went with these figures to complement the "Retro" card art. That is were the jest in the use of mustache comes into play.

Joe product line, but at some point I would guess that somebody didn’t know that, and changed it to “Figure Stands”, which by the sound of it might have been a generic action figure collector, and not a G.I. Joe fan. Would such a change from “Figure Stand” to “Foot Stand” be any different than if we changed it from “Battle Stand” to “Figure Stand”? In my opinion, we should be calling these “Battle Stands”, and I don’t know when or why that ever changed.

Okay. That makes sense, but it also has me wondering: When did G.I. Joe Battle Stands change to Figure Stands?
