Facebook negativity

[Werewolf]

So it's bad that Mego is doing Facts of Life but good that Neca is doing Golden Girls?

I don't think it's bad It's not really comparable either. The fan base for Golden Girls is enormous and has a ravenous appetite for merchandise. I'm not interested in either show but there is no denying Golden Girls is hugely popular.

Werewolf is right about the fan base. I showed my mom and cousin pictures of the upcoming dolls and they both flipped. My mom even reminded me her birthday is coming up when looking at them lol.

Spockoda, thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one who would like Night Court made.

I would love to have Night Court figures. Christine was SO HOT!

[Capt_Kirk]

Just gotta remember, these are $15 dolls.

"Ahem, they're action figures sir"

Hey Kirk, put your phaser away. We get it.

Do you know what drives me nuts? The negative ranting with no proper punctuation. If you have legit gripes, fine. If you have suggestions for improvements or a wish list, fine. But if all you're going to do is ramble without using any periods, you'll have a harder time swaying the Powers That Be. At least, that's my opinion. Also all of the people stating Mego isn't selling or Marty Abrams is a couple years too late to the party. Do these people have actual sales numbers? How do they know product hasn't been replenished in between their visits to Target? And are Mego figures selling any slower than other toy lines? It's like some people have made up their minds the new Mego is a failure without any facts and without showing any support for the figures they do like! It's annoying. I hope waves 2 and 3 knock their socks off!

Heh, yeah the punctuation but also this pattern:

I love that mego is back BUT (long rambling insult) and you should (stupid licensing ideas).

We have one newer member here whose punctuation is all over the map and I don't know what he means half the time. I don't mean to be snobbish (okay, maybe a little), but it triggers my proofreading training.

Yeah. I like "It's stupid that Mego is doing (current Mego license)! They should do (worse license idea)."

Just gotta remember, these are $15 dolls. I think they are an incredible bargain. There is so much range in offerings, I feel like there's something for everyone, of all age groups. I freed Action Jackson from his card today, and am completely impressed by the heft, quality of build, poseability. He feels sturdier than any of my vintage megos.

I'm sure Marty and Co. know what they get right and what needs improvement as soon as they get the toys from the factory, even without customer feedback. Doc Mego probably is the best barometer Mego Corp. could ask for. I have no doubt they are able to identify hits and misses without facebook.

We have MEGO on the shelves, at real stores, at great prices. It's pretty unbelievable. I buy the ones I like, and am quite happy. I hope Action Jackson sells through really well, because I'd love to see more of that kind of non-licensed toy from them. He's a home run.

Would LOVE to see the return of Action Jackson clothing and accessory packs! He comes with a pistol, but nowhere to put it! Remember that rubber shoulder holster that came with one of the packs? Need more!

^ I think it would be cool to see some accessories, vehicles, or playsets once they get going. The monsters and Trek are perfect for this, but wouldn't it be fun to get a blue and white Mustang with exclusive Farrah figure?

I would LOVE to see a Lost In Space set (classic... not the movie or the Netflix drivel)... with Jupiter 2 and Chariot...

I think there IS a time and place to point out potential problems (tactfully) for the sake of the hobby. One does not get to the collector realm without some degree of passion, especially if it's linked to our childhoods. But if no one can have that dialogue without someone grading it's merits for being either too negative or too positive, then we don't have a conversation that benefits anyone. Like anything, it's how you say it. But even saying it well will not remove the connotation nor the attitudes of people who simply want a one-note commentary track.
