thomas and friends mini series

no more SDCC. i do think with matty shut down, it might slow the CC exclusives, or even stop them. i know collectors of the thundercats line were angry when matty transferred that to a different company, as they had had issues with receiving items on time and there were complaints about the lack of quality and packaging.

i dont mind new crossovers, but i never want to go as deep as the DC line again. they really are scraping the barrel with this. how many DC characters do they expect their target audience to know?

Maybe I'm just in a small minority then. I liked the SDCC sets. I do agree that the DC line was really stretching it when it came to characters. Really only the first 20 or so would be recognizable to kids. The rest were geared towards the adult collector for sure but even then I question how many people actually had heard of some of the characters. So I guess Mattel/Fisher-Price hasn't quite decided on who their target audience is then. I'm personally leaning more towards the adult collector. I guess then one thing is that do you really need to have all the characters/trains you don't like or is more of a need to have them all no matter what? I hope this line continues for some time even though I am disappointed with the diminished quality of the newer ones. They really need to have the weights put back in them. I do hope they have another huge crossover line and not just one-offs like spongebob and Power Rangers. I like the TMNT ones but hoping that line grows a bit bigger. Would be cool to see something big like Star Wars, Disney or even using an existing Mattel toy line like Masters or the Universe (as I mentioned above. This line is more geared towards adults than kids). Anyways I'm all up to date with what has been released so far. Just need to get the Thomas from the Steelworks set. Here's hoping that we see more product added for 2017
