Hello.
I'm new to the whole Mego thing. I had a few as a kid, and as an adult have concentrated mainly on 1/6 and 3.75" figures.
But lately I've liked the new figures that have been coming out, and have enjoyed investigating lines that I never saw as a kid (like Wizard of Oz and Planet of the Apes).
Now, maybe because Mego wasn't the biggest part of my childhood, but I have no issues with reproduction parts and accessories. In fact, due to the scarcity of some vintage figures etc. repro is the only way for me to go a lot of the time.
But I didn't realise just what a blasphemy reproduction parts are to some people. I can see why collectors would want 100% original figures, but why the hate against those who want to customise or who can't find/afford the figures or parts they want?
I don't get it.
