The Silence is Deafening

Was just a general statement from me but knowing the depth of talent of the community and some of the fix-ups I've already seen, someone somewhere for sure knows!

Guess I’ll just leave mine MOC. Ew.

A running change is really the only logical way to address this issue it seems.

You folks on here are ridiculous. That comparison is absurd. You’re comparing a multi thousand dollar item to a 30$ piece of plastic. Get over it. Yes its not perfect. If you don’t like it, then dont buy it. It’s clear that everyone who was involved in the process already has heard about it ten fold. At this point crying into your keyboard is not magically going to turn your toy arm a different color.

Im over it, adios… everyone get your tears in before the thread gets shut down.

The entitled complaining? Lol seriously? I posted a picture. And you know what my title is spot on. The silence is deafening. I didn’t make any demands about refunds or replacements or anything. But the fact that you have a question thread that has been ignored for days clearly because he doesn’t want to touch this issue says a lot.

And yeah the guy is constantly on social media interacting with it so I seriously doubt he hasn’t been on this board for days and isn’t aware. And what is with this idea that we all we should be so blessed that he’s selectively answering questions here we should never ever complain and just be thankful. He’s the head of marketing LMAO. This is his job. And he’s here because the last guy got his feelings hurt because somebody complained about a Sting figure that really did look like garbage.

Seriously Mattel has some of the worst damage control I’ve ever seen. Actually it’s pretty much nonexistent. Look at the new gen arena. They pulled a rabbit out of the hat with macho man, but I would still grade their first campaign as a disaster from a PR standpoint. From the upfront charge to fixing it and then having it broken again and the weeks of silence that followed was completely inexcusable, as is this.

That being said, I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re taking the stance you are. Lol you literally work for the company that’s one of their main retailers. So of course you’re going to be an apologist for them. I get that. I really do. But let’s not pretend this is not one of the most anticipated figures of all time and they dropped the ball with one of the dumbest possible errors ever.

You say you don’t want to be that guy who resorts to the “Oh they’re just toys” defense. But that’s exactly what you’re doing. It’s the lamest most cop out defense ever. It is a telltale sign that you have thrown your arms up in the air and are stuck on an indefensible platform, so you have to belittle the entire community to bring them down to your standard as opposed to recognizing that consumers paying actual money have standards of their own that are not the lowest common denominator that the multibillion dollar company prays for so they can keep turning out garbage and selling it as gold.

Again, I guess I can’t say I’m too surprised with your stance on it. What else would we expect from Ringside Tom LMAO. I don’t think Best Buy would appreciate one of their representatives bashing Apple products on camera in a Best Buy uniform on the job.

But calling these threads entitled complaining? No way. This figure was too big of a release, too massive of a disappointment, and the mistake was too stupid of an error to have ever even happened. They should 100% answer for it. Hell even if their answer is to just say sorry but it got away from us in the factory and will make sure to correct it for upcoming Kane figures would be better than the ghost approach.

Aaaaand cue the classic, but woefully unoriginal “too long didn’t read” meme.

To whoever posts it, I’ll respond with my equally unoriginal soundbite… I LOOOOOOVVEEEE YOUUUU

Good heavens.

This is just insane. Absolute nutso.

I agree it's an eyesore but it isn't the end of the world.

Please. The lot of you. Be kinder to each other. Hounding Steve and RSC about it isn't going to help the situation at all.

Whats ridiculous is that people like you are willing to bend over and accept this sort of rubbish. They managed to complete every other paint job for every kane so far and this one is the ultimate. Im already trying to get over the survivor series hulk hogan that looks like something from spitting image,this "ultimate" kane needs fixed.

I just hope they make more kanes now that they have finally mastered his mask

I dunno if I just got lucky or if it's because I tried putting it on the head with hair first and stretched it out, but the mask fits on mine perfectly. I love the way it looks on the shelf.
