Non-fixed Mattel bodies

[The Bat]

Somewhere in the multiverse there is a sunshinefamilymuseum.com that would be deeply wounded by those sentiments.

OK seriously, is this going to happen EVERYTIME the next wave of RAH comes out? Honestly, some of you are like a bunch of spoiled children. "Its not the way I think it should be so I'm gonna B**** and moan until it is." Gimme a break! A lot of you are capable of great customs anyway, so why complain about something you can make yourself? I thought the whole purpose of this line was to get the kids into something you enjoyed as a child, and get the nostalgia factor on for yourselves. And for those of you who complain about the price, again I point out that you customizers spend almost double that when you consider buying heads, bodies, fabric, accessories, paint, sculpting materials and to get Anthony to make the packaging for you, not to mention shipping for the things that aren't readily available to you. I mean, aren't toys suppose to bring JOY to people? If all you can do is nitpick and criticize, perhaps you should take up a new hobby.

What's your problem with this thread? Paul told us that Mattel said that the bodies would be "fixed by wave two". They aren't fixed for wave two, so this thread came into existence. If they were fixed like we were told they would be, I wouldn't have started this thread. I feel they were deceptive in the rumor that they would make a better product. They have the worst 8" format body being offered. It's just sad...

Could be worse. Mattel might have decided to go with the old Space1999/Sunshine Family/Mork/Welcome back Kotter body. Now that would have been a real mess.

I work with Mattel's bodies LITERALLY every day and I don't think the thighs
are that bad.

The change will happen when it happens based on the realities of production.
Calling Mattel liars is juvenile.

Guess I'm juvenile then. Don't take criticism that well, do you?
I based that on the fact that you said - way back when wave 1 was being discussed - that the issues with the legs would be fixed by wave 2. Here's wave 2 and we still get the same issues with the legs... what am I to think then?

I like them too. they are getting a bit pricey if that other thread about price increase is correct, but I still think they are cool toys.

Oh yeah...well you're a stupid-head!

The bodies have grown on me too, I really don't mind they aren't my ideal design. They are what they are, and that's good enough for me. You don't like them? don't buy them, nobody is FORCING you!

+1

Do we really need a seperate thread just to complain??? It's a toy...let's get some perspective.

Also, I recall Doc saying something at the Meet about Mattel and using mego-like stuff. Mattel insists on using completely homemade stuff. They don't want someone coming out of the woodwork a year from now claiming they sculpted that foot or something.

[Mikey]

How do you work with Dr. Mego and create such poor bodies. I love the look of these figures it's just the bodies are crap!

Because Mattel uses their own bodies.

Doc can't be blamed for the crappy bodies

OK, 5 threads now
But yeah, Mattel lied about fixing the bodies, a real shame

[MIB41]

Nope. Not here. There are ALOT of eight inch characters coming out. Time to be picky with my selections. Flash and Buck Rogers get my money.
