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.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - Home -
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.Comment

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.Comment

I was ready to buy a Kyle and then they pulled him back, now I am kinda over Kyle. If I get one cool if not then I'm fine with it either way now.Comment

I wish there was a general sense of support for RA and the success of this line! QWho cares if it gets pushed back another week? I don't understand the attitude agains purchasing a new mego because it is a month or two late. It is a new MEGO! Cool! Doc gets my unwavering support!Comment

I agree
I for one want a Kyle, I think he was a bold choice and worthy of a Mego figure. I continue to support the line, I am hoping for more Mego's. The negativity is getting too loud. My hope is that Matty will continue the line, maybe I am a wishful thinker but I refuse to call it over just yet.Comment

I think it will be over with Kyle man but lets hope it's not (whishful thinking) it's a shame cause there are endless possibilites with this line and kudos to the Doc and all envolved,they have worked there butt off to get all this to market.Lets hope there is more to come not just from the Mattel line.
Just my 2 pence in English money.

I'm still holding out hope that Kyle gets released soon so I can snag one."It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

I never understood Mattel. For years they lamented the fact they could never get their foot back in the door with boys toys.2002 came along, they got back in with the return of MOTU,then jumped back out. Their DC stuff lasted a little bit longer but for the most part,they're back out again. How much longer will it be before they do the same thing with the rest of their lines?Comment
