My love of Mattel’s DC products is
definitely on the wane.
Heck, my love of anything DC is
on the wane (except maybe Man of Steel).
Mattel’s retail line isn’t
producing very much that’s exciting or new. And I think I regret
subscribing to Clun Infinite Earths this year. Most of the releases
so far have been so bland that I haven’t even wanted to review
them. As a matter of fact, I just shipped Wally West off to an eBay
buyer that I hope will like him more than I did. Well, technically I
don’t care. I’ve got the money. It’s too late for him.
Bwahahahaha!
I was fairly close to just divvying the
rest of my DC figures up into lots and selling them off, as well. A
couple of things stopped that. First, it would have been a pain in
the ass. Second, Lil’ Troublemaker really didn’t want me
to. He got bummed out when I told him I was thinking about it. Third,
I know there would come a time when I would regret it. Yeah, it would
have been a ton of money; but I know that someday DC will recover
from the current creative disaster and I will love their universe
again.
For right now I am just not that
enthusiastic about DC. But – like any toy line I am considering
dropping – there are still releases here and there that I just
can’t resist. This Batman is one of them.
