I really like this point/counterpoint article, but it only focussed on figs made in China that will (or was supposed to) reach the "White" market then really show up or get cancelled.
But, what do you think about other figs like the one made by The Black Major? He use the same mold of vintage Hasbro figs, but Hasbro never planned to make these. And last year at the con, Habro rep saw those Red, Black and Brown troopers without even trying to stop those guys. Really, I don't understand Hasbro on these.
And don't get me wrong, I'm a pro o-ring figs, so I really like the fact that I can buy those brand new figs in 2010.
