Contrast..
So i hope the contrast is altered at some point, i've spoken through email with someone and they already have pictures in hand of the 25th Anniversary Figures. He is incredibly pleased with his purchases and says they look good as part of his collection, I don't want to just select the high ground and go against what people are reporting.. because if it is true about the vast majority of figures having poor quality control then that would be a shame, the idea of not having an O-ring has left a bitter taste amongst alot of fans/collectors.
For those actually being on this forum complaining and dissing hasbro's efforts how many of you can actually attest to have held one of these figures?
I'm not saying your all wrong.. and you've no right to complain or have your own opinion.. but it does seem like many of you are crying before you've even given the line a fair shot?
This community and forum, posts up diorama shots of G.I.Joe photo's.. lets say I'm a new member and i have reasonably good photography skills. Unfortunately my enthusiasm is dampened by having a sub par camera and so my first few submissions need some work.. would it be fair to outright throw out my qualities on first showing? I guess not.. because in the future I might actually produce something of quality you might like.
I guess Hasbro aren't new and sub standard, so maybe my comparison is slightly out, after all they've been making figures now for two decades right if not longer.. so when they release there product it should be top quality and produced to the highest standard we expect of them, for the most part if not longer.
I can say the same about the 25th line, alot like JVC and the VvV line of figures I went out and bought them, they wasn't for me so I sold them on. If you can already judge just by looking at pictures of them online without seeing them in the flesh then so be it. That's your call.
What works for one fan doesn't work for another. I'm still going to give the figures a fair shot i've got them on order and when they arrive if i aint satisfied, i'll do what hasbro wants me to do .. write to them and ask them what they are going to do about it and probably sell them as I did with my JVC line.
I've heard crazy crazy things over the last few weeks, most of it regarding the 25th Anniversary stuff, at the end of the day if the line is as bad as people are making out, this won't last long surely?
