>>7182067There is zero reasonable excuse for this shit to be happening. They don't know the plastic to use? Bullshit. They have access to Mattel's molds and likely production records. It's proven that Brian Flynn does not, or perhaps refuses to, monitor what the factories do so they churn out whatever. I bet factory owners are charging for the good plastic, going cheap and pocketing the extra, and this clueless dipshit tells the fans "deal with it, we're a small company and we can't do better, these are high-end collectibles!" to write off any personal responsibility.
Then the fans accept it because they're proven addicts that will take anything just to get that new character to fill a hole in their collection.
It's a shame MOTUC is not popular enough to get KOs. We got weird shit like a run of Zodacs but that was about it. I'd be up for $20 shipped from China KOs that are better than or surpass the official toys(which at this point would be low effort since S7 is crap) and why the big name characters aren't getting KOs confuses me.
If MOTU is so forgotten no one wants to KO a toy line that scalps for high eBay prices then the brand is fucked.
