My letter to Hasbro...a toy rant.

[Toy Timelord]

Absolutely not. Evidence fits my point of view, you'd need to change your point of view to fit the evidence.

Fact: Marvel Legends and DCUC both feature classic and contemporary characters. <-- My POV
Fiction: ML and DCUC should only feature Classics <-- Your POV

It's not even a matter of having it my way, it's a matter of provable, verifiable, quantifiable, indisputable, fact!

After reading all of this the only thing I can say is that the best thing we can all do is to agree to disagree.

[Boris71]

no my point of view is that when you see classics or legends in the name of a line you don't expect to see any flyby night recont of a character out there or any relatively new character that comes along, you expect to see characters that have established themselves over a few years, you call a line unlimited or universe and then all goes, as I said in my first post, you just want the characters you like made, and for a long rime under toybiz very few newer characters were made the new costume maybe but not new characters

[Toy Timelord]

But the evidence doesn't bear that out either. We have plenty of flash in the pan characters. In both lines.
And the characters I want ARE established. Quentin Quire is older than Fantomex. Who, I remind you, has a figure.

As does Hope Summers.

And Toy Biz went out of business. Hasbro makes ML now, and it's thriving. It is much better now than it ever was under Toy Biz. I have a Daredevil that doesn't have ridiculous linebacker shoulders. But Toy Biz did new characters too. Not as many as Hasbro, but enough that your argument that 'Legends implies characters who have established themselves' is moot. They did a boxed set of the Young Avengers before they had been a thing for a full year.

I saw Cyclops' moronic new costume hanging on pegs at TRU on Monday. It'll probably be there a while, but the box still said 'Legends' and I don't have a problem with that.

So I'm not sure what you're really arguing for or against here, unless you're suggesting that Hasbro create a separate line for newer characters, because you think 'Legends' means something that it doesn't, and NEVER did.

If you ARE suggesting that, it's not a good idea. Why waste time and money to create something separate that does exactly the same thing as something that works?

I've played that game before, it's the same garbage MOTU fans spewed with their 'classics' line. Divide and conquer. If it's all one line you might have to buy a couple for a BAF, but if they're separate you can ignore them and maybe they'll go away.

If that's the case, then be honest and admit it, but don't hide behind falsehoods and misinformation when the truth is as plain as the nose on your face.

[Boris71]

What???? you go on and do what you like It's no point in discussing this any more for me you don't want to accept that people see these things differently to you so I'll end my part in this now I have better thing to do.

[Toy Timelord]

I accept that you see things differently. But facts are facts.

^Geez...why do you have to keep getting the last jab in? Just let it GO already. I'm sorry I even started this thread.

[thunderbolt]

^^^ Without this thread I never would have heard of Quintin Quire. I still don't care about him, but now I know.

[enyawd72]

LOL...thanks TB. You always have a great perspective on things.

[thunderbolt]

I try, I've been having a ball watching this argument. Amazing.

[enyawd72]

^You my friend, will be the decider. When you make a Quentin Quire custom, only then will he be officially regarded as "classic".

[thunderbolt]

Never going to happen. Where am I going to find an Eminem head? The XMen lost me years ago. New characters that will have staying power need to not look trendy like the Quinin guy does. He will eventually be the butt of jokes about whatever era this ends up being called. The Teens?

I think you are right there seems to have gone way off the original post about Hasbro's distribution ideology
