<\/a>Why does the MOTU fanbase get immediate response and their concerns pandered to, when the DC fanbase is larger and can outsell MOTUC enough to stay at retail? Even Toy Guru labeled the DC line as the \u201cgranddaddy of our collector lines\u201d. Are the DC fans not worth the same level of consideration as MOTU fans? I know we can all agree that the lines should be treated with equal care and attention, right?<\/P><\/p>\nNow, I\u2019m not saying TG should stop addressing the MOTU line\u2019s problems. I think it\u2019s great that he does it and as a MOTU Fan it makes me happy to have such an attentive brand manager. What I am is saying is that equal time and dedication should be given to addressing problems with the DC lines as well.<\/P><\/p>\n

P.S. – One more kudos for Toy Guru. When I opened my Katma Tui last week, I was surprised to find her legs not warped and that she could stand on her own. Her arms and legs were made of a sturdier plastic this time around and resisted warping. That\u2019s a trend I hope continues from now on.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u201cWhy are Moss Man\u2019s ears fuzzy,\u201d was the cry of many a teary-eyed MOTU Fan on the .Org and at the Facebook page last week. Me? I don\u2019t really care either way. I know how the industry works in regards to prototypes and my subscription was submitted months ago. Some version of Moss Man is coming no matter what and personally I don\u2019t care if I can see his ears or not. I was surprised at how much flocking Mattel had been able to load him up with. This, as I recall, was what fans wanted when we first heard there would be problems. But instead of being grateful that Mattel was able to deliver an almost completely flocked (and very vintage) Mossy or reasonable that it would be an easy fix, the noisiest among us MOTU fans tore their clothes and gnashed their teeth because his ears had disappeared under a layer of flock. Always a classy bunch.<\/P><\/p>\n![](\"rant\/moturant3.jpg\")
<\/a>At this point, I\u2019m not really sure why. It seems to me that no matter what he does, it\u2019s never good enough for some of the fanbase. Yet he keeps showing up anyway. He must be some sort of masochist. Whatever the reason, I want to thank him personally for his efforts. I know I wouldn\u2019t have the patience for dealing with the frustrations of his job. So, I tip my Rant Hat to him, for working as hard as he does to satisfy some of the MOTU fans seemingly insatiable hunger.<\/P><\/p>\n![](\"rant\/moturant1.jpg\")
<\/a>I thought about the months of complaints before the clashing gold and yellow variant Dr. Fate was released in March. He wasn\u2019t changed. Afterwards, we were told a fixed version would be coming. In December, Dr. Fate was released again in a TRU exclusive Best Of case. It still wasn\u2019t fixed. I thought about the promise of changing a blue-faced Harley Quinn to the more accurate (and better looking) white face. I thought about the armored penguin and modern Red Tornado that haven\u2019t reappeared since being cut from DCUC1 two years ago, despite the promise that they would. I thought about the missing neck articulation that\u2019s affected three straight waves of figures (and the last two 2pks) already. These problems bother DC fans almost universally. Not half or four-fifths. Pretty much all of us want the necks fixed and wanted Dr. Fate in the proper colors, yet we\u2019ve seen dozens of figures released with bad necks and we\u2019ve seen Dr. Fate painted incorrectly in three different case assortments.<\/P><\/p>\n
