That probably does explain it then. Well now I don't feel so bad for leaving some people hanging when I stopped going there. π

I love and hate that I don't need you to elaborate. It's a major reason I've drifted away from anything but the most cursory interaction with any of them.

Huh. I spent some time at the "O-3" forums and I don't remember anything like that. I totally believe you though! I just wonder if it was before my time, or after my time, or I was young and dumb and didn't notice.

How many databases have they said they're going to make?
How many have they actually made?
How many of them have proven to be useful?
I definitely see the threat in what they're trying to do, I don't want to minimize that. I just have no faith in their ability to do it.

I got mine yesterday; it was fun to open without knowing the contents. It could be anything! A 30-year old cereal prize! Old packs of trading cards! A mini-poster featuring a discontinued unhealthy food! An unused movie ticket! The jeweled rabbit from Masquerade!
Probably not the last one...

It's wild that the takes on 84-85 guys, the ones who already had functional toys to inform design, just went delete delete delete on all the detail, then in 86 they started doing design first and went OOPS! ALL DETAIL that was a nightmare to translate into a toy. π

I've shared before, people have literally come into the library looking for things we don't have because AI told them we have it. When we tell them AI is wrong they just ask the AI where to find it.
Then they get mad at us. π

I'm not even a graphic designer and that logo is driving me nuts. Yeah, "lady" looks tacked on because it is, but if it weren't AI there would (hopefully) be some attempt to blend. A curved top line and straight bottom line? Red highlights in the bottom line but not the top?

Seems reasonable to me. I don't think I'd seen you before, and when you and @amy.wrestlejoy.com popped up in that first shot my brain misfired and I went "I know them from TAAAALLLLLL" π€£

You wouldn't want Spider-Man or an inter-company crossover to be fun, would you? What if someone laughs? That doesn't belong in comics!!

This sort of thing is a major why I just bring lunch from home most days. Yeah I mostly have PB&J like a grade-schooler because I'm lazy, but I also don't have this stuff happen so...

People (even other fans sometimes) are often wowed by my collection, and according to my spreadsheet it hovers around 900. Your place must cause people to faint. π

At one point mine got into Ever After High, and it was JUST out of stores. I couldn't find anything in package that wasn't 2-3x retail, and of course anything out of package was "well-loved" (which is great on the whole but not so much for dolls, and especially not for gifting).

Personally I like the idea of her getting into increasingly dangerous predicaments, which make her viewer count surge, but she also manages to escape her trouble so she just keeps doing it. Sort of a jungle take on the "ditzy bombshell" slapstick comics of the 40s and 50s.
