Kyle "coming soon"

[jetzjungle]

I'm still thinking that fan support will and can help! Mattel gambled big on taking on this format and applaud them for trying in the first place! I think it is up to the consumer to support this franchise! I'm looking forward to Kyle and hope to see the rest of the figures make it to Matty.

Being one that was obviously super in love with the line, at this point I have to use this generations catch phrase "whatever". While I would/will pick one up it's not the same as it was before. We know the line is done. This guy will be the last of his kind so that may see more "speculators" snatch him up for the secondary market and I simply won't pay those prices for this character. It's not worth it to me.

For me all the fun has been taken out of the RA line now. My money (once I have extra scratch again) is going to stay closer to home, i.e. EMCE, Bif,Bang,Pow, Castaway and yes, even more Brick Mantooths. All of those folks have EARNED my business, respect and trust. Mattel? Not so much.

Perhaps Kyle here will all of the sudden sell like gangbusters and saves the line in some way, I still will be skiddish. In that unlikely scenario I'd keep my eyes open for Matty exclusive Robin, Supergirl, Joker, Toyman and other such must haves. I however wouldn't trust them enough to join a club for $30+ a month for the hope that one of those figures would eventually end up in the chute. The actions of Mattel have made it very difficult to allow for that kind of confidence. In fact it's soured me so that I'd go as far to say that I feel the same way towards other Mattel product such as Monster High, which the wife loves. Despite its apparent growing popularity who's to say that the mighty matty doesn't just up and kill the undead just because?

So long Mattel, thanks for the fun but in the end again I stress I'm keeping my cash closer to home and encourage others to do the same or at least think about it.

As much as I love this line, if it's fate is riding on the sales of some guy named Kyle, I think the writing is on the wall.
