I think my general dismay isn't at the ICMG-ish-ness of it all... That's kind of just a secondary thing with it all. The point more is that one thing, ANY thing, that fans want to be made, is getting such a strong "I wish they wouldn't make this" reaction from anyone. It's not even a majority it seems... Seems to me most really don't care if it's made or not while there's then the split of people who do and a tribe that strongly don't.
The dumb thing about it though is that anyone's so angry over something being made that OTHERS wanted. Nobody as wasking for choppers so I can see some "WTF" type reactions to that line when it came out... But now we've got a group who ARE getting something they want, and there's this small gang of people who are unhappy about it and wish, essentially, misfortune for the people who do want it... There's a distinct level of sadness to that. It's a sign of the times for the hobby though I believe. I guess there just was a time people weren't unhappy when something obscure got made that other people wanted. They just shrugged and bought it too even if it wasn't their cup of tea. Now though, there's this group that feel anything you want that you get, may somehow be taking a figure away from them that they want...
Just find it sort of ****** is all.
I mean, I actually dig the Vos figure... I like having it, but I never voted for it and could care if they had ever made it... However, I was happy for the Vos fans who DID get it. Yay for them... I didn't actively campaign saying, "That POS will be the end of the line! How stupid to make such a dumb EU character?", but that's the attitude these days over some figures... ICMG just came to my attention.
Oh well... Just making a point about selfishness I guess... Now who's turn is it to jerk me off?
