It's not a doll it's an action figure. -
This whole mess started back in Vietnam, when soldiers were upset that the guns they were issued actually had PLASTIC STOCKS. It made the gun lighter and easier to haul on long trips into the boonies. They then adopted the old "You can tell it's swell if it's Mattel" slogan. No more, No less, there's the point of association.

For a point of association, yes. But the rumor grew from there. I only repeated it, as I heard.This whole mess started back in Vietnam, when soldiers were upset that the guns they were issued actually had PLASTIC STOCKS.

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Well ok then
Well it looks to me that the whole mattycollector thing grew from folks watching the success over at sideshow toys. I even get the feeling they buy the tissue paper that wraps in the boxes from the same place.
I'm real excited for the new heroes on the way I only wish they gave emce more involvement after the design process.
I hope we get a book about the Neo-mego era.Comment
