For example, I'm not sure who was at fault, but the Star Darlings line was utterly botched when it should have been a gimme moneymaker with 12 distinct, diverse characters that each had at least 2 looks to be made into dolls. But that's different than complaining about certain features on dolls that are clearly aimed at a younger audience, like the MH reboot, or there for specific reasons like the DCSG designs. Like I think it's fine for anyone to complain about the perpetual appearance of Wonder Woman in DCSG lines when there's only 1 deluxe Bumblebee doll and you hardly ever see Katana, but complaining about Hawkgirl's torso and whining about cheapness and a decline in quality is silly. <br /><br />I'm sure this has happened with other types of adult collectors before, but ever since Monster High, I've seen a drastic decline in the behavior of playline collectors. I love MH, but their articulation created a load of entitlement and the playline fandoms have only suffered for it since.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709180480901622552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752396285807050732.post-67236713674396771082017-12-15T15:35:37.504-08:002017-12-15T15:35:37.504-08:00Yeah, this is ridiculous.

It's completely reasonable to feel a bit miffed when something changes and things are going in a different direction. Monster High is different now, and not in a good way for many. But to declare that you were the only people the dolls were made for when the truth is that you are actually the only people who really care about such things? Rubbish. These are kids' toys mostly bought by parents for their children, neither of whom could care less about the reboots or plastic clothes. Why can't adults be a peripheral group that enjoys a kids' franchise without becoming entitled and taking it for their own?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752396285807050732.post-44404972833098820502017-12-15T13:04:26.526-08:002017-12-15T13:04:26.526-08:00Ugh.
