Talk about beating a dead horse into a fine red mist...

Hasbroplex scales very well with legends figures and is big enough to look cool in a classics collection. MT version not so much. And sometimes you can beat a dead horses body so hard that it comes back to life. Third party guys do read fan sites sometimes for feedback. Take Kronos for example. How many horses died in the process of getting where he is at now ?

Are you serious? Do actually think overly repeating the same negative banter Twenty plus times in a thread in all the threads helps get you the results you seek? No company or 3rd party will take you serious or listen to you when you present yourself in this fashion.

I was referring to negative posts by multiple users, not just me. And as I stated before, it worked with Kronos and a few other small scale projects. Maybe not in my favor, but he listened to the majority complaints. So yeah it works sometimes. Its called smart business. Its better than getting stuck with excess stock that nobody buys.

No you are missing the point. Its disruptive and annoying behavior to jump in and out of every thread twenty plus times in each thread repeating the same toy Scales negative banter that you do. Whether if it works or not is not the issue. the issue here is it's bothering members. it incites everyone to fight with each other. It takes things off topic. some it is giving headaches. you know the outcome and it's effects on each member here,So why do you continue? Do you not like to see things calm and normal here. does everyone here need to be up in arms to please you.

How about you give us some kind of break here by seeking alternate venues to get your desired toy scales negative banter in the hands of these companies. You Have other options like Facebook, Twitter, Emails and instagram.

Calm down dude. We can accuse you of similar behaviour. If you don't like a single poster's behaviour, either add that user to the ignore list or just let him be.

The difference here was I took a step back, Realized I was being annoying. Then I took some positive steps to attempt to fix things that annoyed others here. I strive to imporove myself positively here.

You-X, Have no desire to fix things within yourself that annoy and upset some here. Recently in this thread you bluntly said you will not stop or tone down your, toy scales desires banter. You admitted it was excessive & realized it annoys most here. Your justification for not stopping. Was saying companies read your negative rants and change toys to be more catered towards you.

Unless the guy who designed Kronos gets on here and says "X really inspired me to improve my product" I'm not buying it. It looks boxy is about the only thing you had to say about it. Aside from the usual too small too big too G1 too Neo ramblings of yours. Its still the exact scale it always was anyway so how did it work again?

You could just start a thread titled how "I would make it better" and include your desired changes for every toy in there. That way the other threads are not 15 pages out of 30 full of your *"$#@ before the product releases.

And yes, I have tried the block feature. It works well although with both of you blocked the page loads and has like 3 comments per page. Talk about monopolizing a medium....

Its got nothing to do with me. The kronos guy (arafat) actually came out on the thread and interacted with the fandom. Thats what counts. And I dont use the block feature. Im a firm believer in if you cant take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Speaking of heat...lets go Heat !!!

Yeah he basicly got on to tell you to ....let's just say nothing constructive came from it. Besides, he was already responding before all that. Way to try for revisionist history though

In agreeance, HasTak stopped reading forums years ago due to some unruly fans negative, insulting, childish behavior. 3rd parties are aware of this as some are fans themselves. Nobody is going to listen when you represent yourself in this manner.

It's doubtful he'll use your idea. As he bluntly ignored my idea on this page. My idea was to contact the companies directly on their facebook pages, Twitter, Emails & instagram.

Guys like this take joy in being disruptive. they think they are being cool like arthur fonzarelli.

Arafat read his comments saying he was not going to buy Kronos. So Arafat did not adjust his design to please a non buyer of Kronos.

In agreeance, Arafat was already working on improvements on Kronos way before someone here upset him. Arafat listened to fans who presented their desires in a more dignified way and better venues like facebook, twitter, instagram and emails.

Weren't YOU the guy who said the Kronos prototype looked like a bunch of milk cartons taped together ? You started the whole riot on the Kronos thread. Me and others just followed along because for once we agreed with you. But you led the charge. You were Bron and I was D. Wade on that thread.

Not that I think this place is invisible to them, but let's not overstate our importance. IMHO, I think most of the real attention is on Chinese blogs and such.

On X himself, I actually think he's gotten better from a ways back. Why don't we just focus on Pandimus instead of veering so far off course? Although there's not much to talk about. I wonder if he'll wind up being taller than PE's offering. Hopefully each will make a Black Zarak variant. The bigger one can be that for my collection.

You're right. We should get back on topic. These 2 keep baiting me because they know I'm a sucker for a good argument....

Arafat didn't even notice I made that comment. If he did, He wasn't made at me. Arafat got mad at X and Actually thought X made those comments because X kept overly repeating them Twenty plus times in that Kronos thread.

You further upset arafat by Arguing back and forth with him in replies.

And you were quick to make it known that I repeated your quote without crediting you.

I take no credit for Kronos improvement over the design process. But I would like to think that all of us as a collective group gave him the motivation to make sure the finished product was awesome. Too bad he doesn't want to shrink it down to leader scale. I would happily give him my money if he did.

14"? Wow, he's a big guy compared to Warden.

Tsutsukakushi and Rated X should open competing 3rd party businesses. The competition would make TFC and Fansproject look like nothing.

This is no where near what i'm looking for in a classics Scorponok .

It reminds me of a giant Gormiti figure .

I think I need a good reveal from PE to erase these images from my brain.

Hmm, glad I got the Botcon set now.
