We should all protest outside Mattel HQ with our own, homemade, life-size, display stands and individual name tags! ;D Still I hope that Mattel eventually sells the stands separately for the people that really want them. |

I really had no care for them either, I'll keep them around for a bt until my friends know who the superstars are(they just got into WWE) but after that I'm done. Besides, I find these threads very pointless. They already took away the stands! if this was a announced a few months before they actually got rid of them, then I can see fighting it, but considering Mattel already made the decision and have released a few sets(Rumble Heritage, Elite 7, Basic 8, Legends 4) without the stands, I'd say it's a done deal. They made their decision and nothing is going to change it because the decision has already been carried out.

mattel cut the stands because of increasing production/manufacture costs.
their choices were:
1) increase the price of figures
2) decrease the quality/detailing of the figures
3) scrap the stands
they chose to scrap the stands. which is obviously the best option. sure, for people who like stands it's disappointing, but there's no point protesting it. there had to be a cutback.

Better they take the stands away if there cutting cost. I wouldn't want them cutting cost on the figures themselfs(new parts and scans > stands IMO) I would rather them just charge me another dollar and kept the stands. agreed will pay for stands |

I would rather them just charge me another dollar and kept the stands. agreed will pay for stands yeh but the point is, a price increase will put more people off than the loss of a stand. mattel want to lose as few sales as possible. the majority of customers (ie kids) aren't going to care about stands but will notice (or their parents will notice) a price increase. plus theres a lot of Jakks collectors who got accustomed to not having stands with their figures. i think what mattel should do is make stands and nametags available to buy at mattycollector.com or something. for people that want them. |
