Discussion Topics:

What figure do you feel is most missing from a line, official or unofficial? For me it’s fans projects function X hard head. A second one would be star saber from power of the primes ,the gimmick was made for him - I heard that on tfw2005, but I agree. - Scott Silver

What do the Figure Knights think of displays/sets/dioramas? Would you or do you have a big set up like the Ark or Cybertron? How big is too big for dedicating space for a display for your collection? - Stuart Christensen

“I think we as a collector community have become very entitled and expect near perfection these days. Forgetting that just a few years ago, we’d have been so excited and thankful and grateful. The fact that so many collectors dissect brilliant figures and make them into mediocre is wild. Like Optimus v3 or Hound or pick your genre” - Erik Rosenquist
Are we spoiled/entitled? Do the advances in figure design and manufacturing give us unrealistic expectations or just high ones? There is a factor of diminishing returns as well.

A: A recent review article I read on The Fwoosh about SHF Iron Man Mk 50 half-jokingly stated, “Yeah, this is yet another Iron Man, and yeah it does get tiring reviewing toys are that consistently made with top quality designs, engineering and manufacturing. But it must be done. I will gladly recommend that you purchase yet another Iron Man to add to your collection.” This shows that collectors are used to getting a high level of quality. If you know you can get that for your $50-100, then why would you be okay not getting that when you spend similar?

Drew: “entitlement doesn’t end at toys. It extends to plot.”
Bring up Voltron, Cyberverse, and the TF community, especially with what they want in the live action movies.
