Savage Dragon had a cartoon in the 90's on the USA network so that means that he had some sort of popularity.
In the 90's a lot of these characters were popular by comic shop rats.
All I can say is if you do not like them then simply do not buy them and don't worry who likes them or thinks they are cool.
You did the research on the ML characters that you once thought retarded, do research on these new ones and you decide if you like them.
Honestly there is no need to make something like this so complicated. They are toys based on characters that mean something to someone otherwise they would not be made.
Here's the deal, and I'm not being hostile, I just think this is valid discussion.
Now, I didn't start the thread here. So, it wasn't like this was my first stop for info on 90's comic characters
A line of toys based on relatively obscure characters is coming out. Yes, if you look hard enough at anything you are going to find fans of that thing. Yes, these characters had some relevance back in the 90's. Will they sell? With whatever fans out there are left and they ToyBiz Sculptors behind them, I'm sure they will sell. Why can't I ask questions about the subject matter without getting canned answers or being told to go elsewhere?
Asking questions about relatively obscure characters/things is a perfectly valid thing to do on a discussion forum. Want me to just sit around and find whatever tidbits on info are out there on these characters? Fine, I can do that (In fact, I did just that last night and unfortunately, there isn't the wealth of information out there that you might think). But that kills all point of coming here and discussing anything to begin with. Just referring me out to the web and telling me to research it myself, doesn't that just about damn near kill any discussion? Why talk about anything on the boards? We can all just Wiki it, Google it, or other. Wouldn't you agree that the message boards are a prime source of info generation from people who are or were interested? Don't get me wrong, I'm reading through Fwoosh and AF.com too, but what's wrong with posing the question here?
Again, not being rude. Sorry for getting this essentially off-topic.
