>>6395720The toys were great, if they're your thing--MOTU is one of my favorite lines ever, it was cool to finally get some real Ghostbusters figures (even if that line ended up being badly mismanaged), and it was great to see DCUC and JLU continue for a little while longer. I know a lot of people here hate reused bodies (but Marvel Legends are fine...?) but those were probably the most expansive and best DC lines that will ever exist.
All of this was soured by Matty catering to scalpers (ten is a reasonable limit for a small-run collector figure, right? Ten?), creating artificial demand by pulling figures and pretending they sold out, fucking up and having figures actually sell out without having enough set aside for subscribers (Fisto), holding lines hostage behind "subscription thermometers," partnering with the most incompetent and inefficient logistics company on the face of the planet in Digital River, and having a website so shoddily put together that for the first few years the traffic on sale days would crash the site and all you would see was pic related for 15 minutes, after which time everything was "sold out" (pulled to create artificial demand). Now I wonder if this wasn't also a lame tactic to make the figures seem even more rare and desirable.
To say nothing of that smirking prick Matty. I'll miss the toys, but I won't miss MattyCollector.
