At any rate, I never suggested restricting thoughts, just (excessive) word count/meme size. The sort of mammoth posts that are thankfully rather rare here.

In the future, perhaps you could confine the slander to your customary novel-length PMs. Or at least to a relevant thread.

O-ring action figures were on the market for over 20 years without ever being deemed a danger to anyone. I would be shocked if there's ever been one single report of a child allegedly injured by an o-ring. Any claims of the o-ring being a safety concern were fabricated by the company to justify their decision not to use them anymore. |

I like your mock-ups aside from the use of the Rise of Cobra eagle logo, which has no place on vintage or retro product.
I'd also prefer if it said "From the original 1980s molds" rather than "80s molds." But that's just me being nit-picky. Last edited by Josh Z; 11-09-2020 at 02:13 PM.. |

I mean if a kid ate it they could get a blockage possibly. Rare but hell back in the day instructions told us how to put the batteries in the toy and now instructions tell the kids dont eat them. Different mindset these days and from a person that works a lot with kids and teens I think the screens they stare at suck the brains dry.

In what way could an o-ring be a danger to kids? If it breaks (which they all eventually do), the worst that happens is that the two halves of the figure detach from one another. The band does not have enough tension to fling into a child's eye. Not to mention that being inside the body of the figure would prevent that from ever happening anyway.

I sincerely apologize for Sataninjaku derailing the thread. However, as a member of a historically oppressed group (or two) myself, I don't appreciate being compared to a Nazi/fascist. (I know, I'm strange that way.)

So please, if you have an issue with someone try working it out privately through PMs and not in a thread |
