True there have been some flops such as Crystal,and Marvel Girl,but the same can be said about male characters as well. <br /><br />You have my support on the Warriors Three SV.

Before that EM as an entity did rather well with the CMFC. <br /><br />The problems seemed to start when it was decided to turn the collection into something that would appeal to little girls, or those with a similar mindset, with far too many female characters. <br /><br />The argument from those who supported the feminisation of the collection was that they sold well. We know just how successful that policy was. The collection was cancelled. <br /><br />Another possibility that may have led to the cancellation is that most of those at EM now were quite probably not around at the beginning. In my experience there is nothing new management likes quite as much as proving themselves through their own ideas. Before they get sacked...<br /><br />Alpha male lions do love to kill the cubs of their predecessors.mgfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669008644356090909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-15693055862790720562012-05-30T23:51:17.670+01:002012-05-30T23:51:17.670+01:00Larry,
You are sooooooooooooooooooo right. ...Larry, <br /><br /> You are sooooooooooooooooooo right. How can a marvel line of such quality die off????<br /><br />The fact that is was based on selling to subscribers is one thing. Hearing an official EM employee say that with each new extension the subs dropped off more and more is baffling. Who needs subscribers? Open your store to people overseas (i.e. the US market), advertise, use resin, and increase your product as time moves on and you will not only survive. . . . you will thrive.<br /><br /> There are a few reasons I have given up on the new H&V line, part of it is I know just how much EM will invest in it. <br /><br />Does no one realize how much love Marvel and DC fans have for 2nd and 3rd tier characters? This is time to milk the awareness of Marvel characters because of the Avengers movie, not to shut down. Heck, EM could run the H&V line right along side the CMFC line and never miss a beat if they knew how to operate a business.<br /><br />I think us CMFC fans need to buy up all the EM stock we can, do a hostile takeover, and run things the way they ought to be done, LOL!<br /><br />Seriously, though, I have no doubt that we could do a better job.zombiedude13https://www.blogger.com/profile/10848636837711578416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-65941511878376804502012-05-30T23:34:59.314+01:002012-05-30T23:34:59.314+01:00Larry's law of bizness:

I just feel that now is the most important time to all speak up for them and try to get them in before it's too late. There's not many specials left now and with no more future extensions, this would seem the only possible way of getting them in. So I'm hoping EM will see how badly we still want the Warriors Three and possibly consider them in one of the next specials.<br />SVSinisterVenomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978165722939822994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-55151391479962524522012-05-30T05:07:37.889+01:002012-05-30T05:07:37.889+01:00"It would be great if anyone else would join ..."It would be great if anyone else would join us in calling out for the Warriors Three.

If not as a triple pack,they canbe done as a Fandral&Hogun double pack,and a Volstagg special. Skurge and the Destroyer should have also been done.<br /><br />About this Marvel 'Heroes and Villains' series,either it's someone's cruel joke,or EM is testing just how effective the response is before launching the series. If they don't receive enough requests,they just cancel the project before it starts and no harm done.(Except for building up your hopes)Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-84555848990405114122012-05-30T03:46:57.610+01:002012-05-30T03:46:57.610+01:00Thanks for agreeing with me Tino.

Its mostly rooftop...which is why it was a poor special to begin with and why most people complained when it was a 'redo' of a character. If I got one, it would be straight up on eBay. <br /><br />I know Dan cant say much, but hopefully he can sneak in a word to us if he finds out anything. Definitely disappointing news if the collection got cancelled before it begun, or even worse if its all a scam and we all just blindly followed a link from a fellow CMFC collector.LAWayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799064595287606916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-63894884319336340682012-05-29T22:35:37.678+01:002012-05-29T22:35:37.678+01:00But ultimately it boils down to the fact that I st...But ultimately it boils down to the fact that I still get excited and filled with a sense of wonder when I see mutants, mystical masters, soldiers, Atlanteans, aliens, techno-enhanced madmen, cowboys, spies, swordsmen, ghosts, gods and demons interacting with one another in thousands of combinations in thousands of adventures on the pages of a Marvel comic. Clearly there is no need to intellectualize. The mix of characters, and the ideas they embody, their combinations and the sense of adventure never ceases to thrill me and fill me with wonder in the most natural way.BLAKENEWMAN2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/06824404277463421677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-32932610212487928242012-05-29T22:25:12.404+01:002012-05-29T22:25:12.404+01:00LAWay, of course you're right - the basic temp...LAWay, of course you're right - the basic templates identified by the formalists can be found pretty much in every narrative work. We're not saying that Marvel uses them more or better. Nor are we saying that the fact they are used represents an artistic achievement per se. Personally, what I find unique and hugely exciting about the MU and its characters is that it's one of the most hybridized work of fiction, (borrowing ideas from science, nature, philosophy, technology, magic, religion and so on) where all of these ideas get interwoven in a complex structure seemingly designed to make the most of all that the human mind has ever created and imagined. I can't think of many other art forms and works of art where such glorious melting pot is employed to such awe-inspiring and entertaining effect. Hence the apt name of The House of Ideas.BLAKENEWMAN2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/06824404277463421677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-74501210744483247702012-05-29T19:42:48.192+01:002012-05-29T19:42:48.192+01:00PS Ted ...
