Matty has had quality and production issues across ALL their lines, and I think the GB line could have been handled better in some respects. However, considering the sales and limitations inherent to the line (in terms of mass producing figures with minimum retooling costs), they did a decent job. Still, after DECADES of wishing for movie accurate figures I finally got a display case FULL of them. I've complained as well, but I do think they have been pretty upfront with the fans, if sometimes slow. I hear you!

So, I'm not going to bother. Suffice to say, the other path they could have taken was to give out nothing, so this should count for a little (not a lot) something - more than people are giving them credit for. Ash, Tony would have wrapped up the pair nicely, but would have cost a lot of money to produce - the Slimer was obviously picked because it was the cheapest option, and cheap was important, as they've said they weren't getting their returns on the line. Even extra accessories are more expensive to make, with their paint requirements. I’ve tried to explain it a few times, and nobody really wants to hear it. So, I’m not going to bother.

But I would have preferred Tony Scoleri. I already have 2 Slimers (SDCC Spengler & Slimed Venkman). Hopefully because they are working on getting the Hoverboards out before Christmas.

Seriously, I get something that they really didn't have to give me, and for free, so thanks Matty. However, I can't help but think that all us subscriber would have rather had a bag of four or five proton streams, or logo figure stands instead. Gee, thanks.
