An Open Letter to Hasbro

Dear Hasbro,

Please stop making terrible action figures. Since you have taken over the Marvel Legends action figures line, you have churned out mediocre toy after mediocre toy. Occasionally, you nail it. Guardian, Crossbones, and Quicksilver were great figures (although, in all fairness, Toybiz created the original molds, but you took the bold leap of using lower-quality plastic). Doc Samson and Adam Warlock were turds and you know it. I understand that you have a company to run, and that your purpose is not to appease your loyal fans, but to turn a profit. I'm just asking that every once in a while, you throw the overgrown nerds like myself a bone and make a figure we would actually want. Instead, in what I can only assume is a giant middle finger to collectors, you cancel the line and focus on even worse action figures than I believed possible. Take a page from Mattel's book and produce quality, well-sculped, IN SCALE figures. And for the love of everything holy, make me a Wrecking Crew box set.

Respectfully,

Clinton Davis
