Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

[palitoy]

I, if anyone, understand what you're saying. Every time a new Diamond Select Marvel set comes out, my first thought is usually "Well, I can't wait to see why I'm an a**hole this time...".

Yeah, I thought you of all folks could see the irony.

My issue was simply with the term "Big Head Police". I didn't like the connotations.

I sincerely doubt it was pointed at you but i get what you're saying.

Maybe it's cause of what I do but it just feels like Ragnarok of complaining these days. When i posted a DareDevil photo review (where I'm careful not to be biased) seconds later I got a missive "I failed to point out this fatal flaw" it was something to do with the window box and it totally sucked all joy out of the set for this person. They were clearly upset. I couldn't believe the first thing I read was a harsh critique on such a minor issue that i didn't even really notice, i just couldn't see his point.

It was just a general comment and I shouldn't have took offense to it, but I did. I find myself having a difficult time walking the line between collector and creator. Should I chime in if I don't like something even though I know how many things can go wrong behind the scenes? And if I do complain, I better be sure I don't make the same mistake on my work. Am I just opening myself up to even more scrutiny? I really want all of these figures to be awesome, and I get disappointed when they don't live up to my standards. Standards that I place on myself and my own work. Standards which are likely much different than the average collector.

I know I've been a pest about head sizes on FTC's board, and I realized it at some point and really tried to stop myself from doing it. Sometimes I slip up. Sorry about that.

Hey, that was almost like therapy! I feel better already.

Hey I apologize for the term. I said it loosely and didn't mean for it to be taken personal by anyone. I should have picked my words better. More coffee in the morning before I start typing!!! Nothing but love here my friend. We're all on the same team.

No, please don't apologize! You did nothing wrong, I made a giant mistake. I could use more coffee apparently as well!

Let's just raise a drink to Mego!

[MIB41]

Amen to that!!!

[Werewolf]

I think Batman turned out really well.

[ScottA]

I think that all look great.

Super Friends 4 ! They all look great!
Fantastic Newsletter as always!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Great newsletter of course, and the SF figures look good...although I'm not sold on Cheetah's cloth cowl. Unless it's removable (which I doubt) seems a bit odd. The rest look dead-on!

[CrimsonGhost]

I dig that Toyman. Is he really on a new skinny body, or is he on a KISS/Korak body? Either way, it looks cool.

[Brown Bear]

Exciting news but it appears I fell off the email list.

[MIB41]

Great newsletter! It was a awesome week on the forum for all things Mego. Really like the next installment of the Superfriends. FTC is rocking and rolling! Looking forward to the KISS figures though. Hope those are around the corner.

Super Friends 4 is Super! 1st look at Cheetah! Her cloth cowl is a surprise but nice. Would be cool if it was removeable with blonde rooted Hair underneath like Priscilla Rich Cheetahs alter ego has. I doubt that though.

Super Friends 3 and 4 are scheduled for mid and late October! Earlier than I Expected!

I hope SF 5 all Legion of Doom wave is shown soon and arrives in 2016.

Then we need SF 6 with Black Manta, Solomon Grundy, Grodd, and Giganta to finish Legion!

And still Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Atom, and Rima in a Wave!

70s Saturday mornings dreams come true!
