Non-fixed Mattel bodies

[LonnieFisher]

The new wave looks to have the same lame legs. Why would they keep the crappy looking figures going and not fix them? WHY!?!?!?
Yes, this is a totally negative thread. No love for Mattel

[spamn]

I saw Batman and he didn't look fixed, but Aquaman looks a lot better. Not sure what's going on there - maybe it's the leg positioning in the package.

[LonnieFisher]

I think this line is going to die soon...

Out of all the 8" format bodies, Mattel's is the worst.

Because people buy them with or without bad legs.

Why fix something if it will sell just as good broken or unfixed ?

[MIB41]

I'm beside myself...What ever were they thinking?

Good point...we'll buy them, and replace the Bodies with Cast-A-Way's. Either way...Mattel still gets their Money.

[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.

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

[LovethoseMegos]

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

[noelani72]

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.

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.

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!

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