I may be wrong, but I suspect the intention is "read it, then sign the peptition"....not, let's talk about it.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - Home -
^^ agreed
a discussion of the pros and cons of this sort of thing can exist in another thread rather than distracting from the primary purpose of the petition itself.
I might suggest to anyone who is letter writing or campaigning for another manufacturer of DC toys to take up the slack to link to both the petition result page and to the Matty forum discussion of 'save the RA' line.
I would also suggest that anyone who wants Mattel to consider online exclusives for this line purchase the Kyle Raynor figure due out on the 15th of July.Comment

Ok Guys we have over 600 active members please sign up, if U liked them or not, and help the rest of us out, also if possible join in the "mattycollector" forum, it will only take a few minutes. It would be a terrible shame if we just sat back, and did nothing,with all the hard work that Doc and the crew have put in. I still believe we have a slim chance, to squeeze a few more figures out of Mattel. So come on folks SIGN UP !!!!!!! Please x 100000000000Comment

the second wave of Lost figures from BBP was saved due to a campaign to preorder spearheaded by our own MegoScott. His efforts to bring attention to the Lost line via his petitions and blogs stirred up enough interest to warrant BBP releasing these as a convention special.
Unfortunately, with the RA situation, we don't have preorder numbers for Matty to see what would go into the bank for them. The only monetary/sale indicator they have is the final GL figure up for sale on 7/15 at Matty.com
So again, in addition to the letters and petitions, I suggest showing your support by purchasing that figure and finding other folks within your collecting/playing/comic enjoying influence and convincing them to purchase a figure as well.Comment

Actually, while BBP loved the campaign and the support we gave it....it didn't make a bit of difference. I probably convinced a few people to try them, but in the end it was a business decision based on their relationship with ABC.
But taking action to counter-act the negativity that was swirling around them was a good thing to do.
I signed the petition and support all efforts to channel our energy into something positive and who knows what can happen.This profile is no longer active.Comment

Then it is settled, MegoScott should spearhead this movement as well!!!!
Just kidding Scott. Look, I am not even a DC fan and I dont want to see these go away. It took me all of 5 seconds to slap my name down. I am looking ahead to 'What could be" in this scale. LURKERS, please, take a second from your busy day and join this cause.LOOK

OK; well thanks for bursting my bubble there Scott.
At the least, you did organize a cool campaign that the makers of these toys saw and noted.
I very much appreciated your time and energy spent on the Lost project. And I also very much appreciate anyone who takes the time to put some positive energy into this RA situation. So, thank you to the folks who started the petition and the thread on Matty. One never knows who may be paying attention.
and once again, it is the numbers of sales that will drive any company to make or release any product. So; if Kyle is indeed the last of his kind, I intend to order up a batch of him. I admit that I have pretty much no interest in this era of GL and find it an oddly ironic way to end a 70s themed line, but I can always sell or part out the figures at a later date if I choose.
I suggest again that the best support for the retros is to buy the hell out of these last two offerings (John and Kyle) on Matty.Comment

I don't collect these, only one I have is Green Arrow, I just have too many issues with them. But I still signed the petition earlier today for the people that do collect them, and the fact that I hate to see any re-Mego line die, like them or not.
Even though I don't collect them, I would definitely buy a Joker. I hope he gets released.Last edited by Remco Monster; Jun 21, '11, 3:52 PM.Comment
