Just out of curiosity if you could change ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY about each of the lines listed below, what would it be? Simply add an upgrade, change or lose something about each line.
G.I.JOE POC Transformers (Generations, HFTD, RTS) Marvel Universe Marvel Legends DCU MOTUC Star Wars (All lines) Movie Lines (please specify) |

Gi-Joe POC dont add figures like Croc Master and Blowtorch and try to call them POC. Stop rushing to get product out, and use more than 3 figures to make a kitbash. The originality has been great but there are some sad sell outs/ budget figures that are just going to shelf warm.
TF's....make the Dinobots already and make some better combiners, Power Core Combiners were a bad idea, kids would love the orginals revisted and done right and so would collectors. re-release UltraMagnus, and Prime Voyager class and make a good sized classic Megatron already. MU- add BAF in legends sized parts to build big characters, retire badly sculpted molds sooner, more variety, stop giving us those bum elbow females, all of them should be as poseable as the Jean Grey figure. Work on the paint apps as well they are really hit or miss. ML- dont care...maybe re-release the BAFS to my knowledge none have ever been re-released. Fing Fang Foom and MODOK are top on my list of wants because they work with MU figures. DCU- you suck dont care, the 3 3/4 lines suck MOTUC...dont care Star Wars, just up the standard for all the figures, put some stuff on a vintage card but dont charge an arm and a leg for a bit of soft goods and hit or miss updated articulation. The entire line should be that good, otherwise wants the point movie lines? Love em...dont collect all of them. I wish they werent so hit or miss quality wise and Hasbro would pick up more liscences. Hasbro has to( I really want them to) pick up the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit franchise with those movies coming soon. And make them in 3 3/4.

lol that is the best line for DCU ever.
I'm with you on all counts especially Dinobots...WTF is the deal!? Hopefully part of my tax return will go to Takara Grimlock...I can't wait any damn more for them to release Grimlock. MOTUC: All I can say is for them to do something about the insanity that is ordering a figure. I like that it's a limited thing and you almost get excited about racing to buy one.....but for everyone who tried for a Vikor, that was like day of infamy. It shouldnt be THAT ridiculous to buy an action figure. POC: I have no real issues with. I love Croc-Master as a character and figure...I was really hoping he was gonna get an upgrade or perhaps they would go with the VvV version...not sure I understand what they're doing with this CM. Star Wars: Keep fighting the good fight, just kinda...go a little easier on my pockets if thats possible. I mean it's a super expanded universe, I'd love to buy more...but at some of the prices I simply cant. |

POC/Renegades -cut down on the number of Duke/SE/SS give us a shot a picking up so more characters that haven't seen an update in over 20 years.Muskrat, Zandar, even Ripcord.
MOTUC-put it simply no reversed shoulders and an improved customer service operations which would reduce quite a number larger complaints with this line. DCUC- Please fix the neck articulation and improvement on the quality control will go along way improving this line. Legends/MU -more space galactic characters especially larger size heroes & villians more on scale. Star Wars- More of articulation to Star Wars. Movie lines- Better articulation especially if a HALO movie gets made or the Hobbit for that matter. Create environment playsets or some display stands.

POC-Pretty much what others have said. Let's see more variety than Duke, SE, SS, CC etc. GIMME A FREAKIN LIFELINE, DAMMIT!!
MOTUC & SW-Don't collect MU-No comment DCUC-Better quality figs. Love to see a decent Batman and Robin. Movie Lines-First, don't clog the shelves with figs. Second, reduce prices after a few months. WM still has IM 2 figs for $8. Third, do a variety of movies, like Top Gun or The Guardian, that could be compatible with other lines. |

GI Joe POC: Have waves released faster, maybe with less figures per case, that way the newer waves don't get stuck in the distribution centers while the previous waves warm shelves.
Transformers: Increase durability, reports of stress marks/breakages on RTS Wreck gar, stress marks on RTS G2 Prime(mine included!), on both RTS AND United releases are causes for concern. My Thunderwing also has stress marks where the guns plug in under the wings. Marvel Universe: Retire both ALL variants of the Daredevil mold and ALL versions of the Black Spiderman mold. Both have been used so many times within the past year. DCUC: Decrease MSRP MOTUC: Make it mass market with an appealing MSRP Star Wars: Lower MSRP of Vintage Collection figures. Movie(Avatar): MASSIVE potential hampered by designs that didn't appeal to kids nor collectors. Restart line from scratch and emphasis on quality. |

G.I.JOE POC - Kill Snake-Eyes Duke & Stormshadow, everyone has at least one at this point, do a year without releasing these characters
Transformers - I'm cool with it, but I'd like to see TF scale match up more often than it does. Marvel Universe/Legends - Release characters that go togeather (I find 10 things, no other F4, I'd add a few more charactors but I don'tt want to buy charactors I never heard of. DCU - Better articulation & they really aren't 3 3/4 scale unless everone in that universe is short. MOTUC - Put them in store or I don't care Star Wars (All lines) - Please stop fleecing us! Movie Lines (please specify) General Include supporting charactors not just 15 differnet Iron mans, We pick the one we like let the others rot on the pegs. Make them all 3 3/4 scale or other popular scale. I'm more likely to pick up a POTC boat if it fits my Joes. If you are making specialty item (Blue Brothers for example) at least make them posible. I don't want statues. Combine related movie lines, Thor, Captain America, Iron man can all go under Marvel Universe A low cost playset can be a valuable cross-toy iterm |

I'm sure none of them appear in the movie but it would be nice to see a slightly expanded universe under a movie franchise. Iron Man does cool with releasing alot of older suits under it's own title. I wish they would release other Iron Man characters as well. Hopefully we'll get a few waves of Capt America and they'll do a solid EU with figures and characters. |
