This chick is seriously justifying her getting free stuff, but Ryder and Hawkins shouldn’t because “they have money”.
DELUSIONAL! Hahaha

They get perks for hyping stuff yes of course, they wont do it for free, they are using their profile to boost Mattels sales, and getting rewarded for doing so I run a cosmetics based Instagram. I get sent free stuff for reviewing. Do I consider it free stuff? Yes. I’m not doing anything but name dropping and posting. Do they need free stuff? No. They have money. They get whatever they want for talking about Mattel products. It’s something they’d still do even if they wouldn’t get free stuff. Bottom line...rich people get free items even though they have enough cash to pay for it themselves. I like how you basically stated that you're in the exact same situation that they are in, save for the product in question, but for some reason, it's problematic that they're able to have a perk that you also enjoy.

No it’s not really Mattel related because it’s a podcast about figures. It’s more of another “let’s bash Ryder”. Which I really don’t understand. Who cares? With the exception of my wife and daughter I am not going to loose sleep over what he or anyone else says. So what he gets figures for free and stated his opinion on “the hunt”... again who cares? Why is it that you deleted everyone’s responses except for mattelfreak’s? Finish up the cleaning What? I have no control to edit, Delete, move, etc except for the boards I am the Mod of (other toys and Classic wrestling) anything done here has to be from an admin or the Mattel board mods.

It’s time for class, kids.
When you have a large, well known platform to promote a product, getting free product from a company is their way of thanking you for the FREE publicity.
So yes, taking the time and effort to promote their product can lead to being given items. Especially if that company sees a spike in sales.
Which is the EXACT reason there’s now, like, 84 different 10% off codes at Ringside. It tracks where the business is coming from.

Difference is, I’m broke and don’t have money. Do you stalk my posts just to be a jerk? 😂 I fail to see the difference. You are promoting and discussing a product, presumably with a modicum of influence to promote sales of said product. Ergo, the manufacturers of said product have afforded you their product to use and enjoy in exchange for putting that product on the radar of an audience. The only difference that exists here with any sort of consequence is that you also have a personal interest and want for the product that someone else is promoting and discussing. Please, don't flatter yourself.

I actually saw Curt Hawkins in Target today and didn’t buy it specifically because of this “exclusives are fine shut up marks” thing

I mean of course they are going to get send stuff to promote just like review people do it's part of the business. Youtubers get sent games all the times they have the money to afford them but if handing out one free pair gets them 10 more sales they're going to do it.

The sticky question is "why do rich people get free stuff"? I don't think that's the right question in this case though.
•It's good business/advertising for the companies providing the product to have their product endorsed by popular/vocal people.
•Some of those popular/vocal people happen to have money/"be rich" as a result of monetizing their personalities/talent elsewhere.
•Companies don't give their junk out to just anyone, especially not just because someone is rich, there are more important criteria. It has to be someone who will actually take the time to talk about the product for an hour, or write a review, wear it at a red carpet event, on TV, etc. If you win the lottery, Mattel isn't suddenly going to send you free stuff if you're a hermit with the personality of a stone. If you're using their products to spread hate, you're probably not going to get free stuff. Etc.
I wrote product reviews for a few years, a lot of it action figure related, but I rarely got anything free, especially not directly from Mattel. I had to buy all that stuff with my own money. And I didn't mind because I like writing and making photocomics and having a fun community to discuss ridiculous things with, like if super heroes wear underwear under their external underwear lol.
The podcast is benign. You can ignore it and nothing about your life will change, so there's no need to fret over it.

Also, I would not recommend drunk posting. Too much nonsense may start to make sense to you.

Like, why are hot dogs sold in 10 packs but buns are sold in 8. Or why hamburgers are called as such when they contain no ham. Real thought-provoking stuff!
