I realize the pony artists really are pleased that their designs are being turned into merch- but why deal with a company that you know is completely dishonest?
Sorry, I wanted to say that figures/toys with fully moulded hair seem to be perceived as "show accurate" even though they are obviously not I've noticed that some of the designs which previously had "fan made" sign now don't...
They are most definitely not professional. I suspect you will be seeing more fan based stuff not less, because then they don't have to pay an artist they can get the designs for free. Honestly their practices make me think that a bunch of 17 year olds are running the place.
Well EQD posted something today- no mention of the misrepresentations, no mention of an "explanation" from WLF. Not terribly surprising I suppose.
Maybe it's because most of us are collectors. We are fans too, but we would likely be collecting ponies with or without the show. So we have a certain standard we expect collectors items to have. Maybe over there they are mostly just fans who happen to collect stuff that has to do with their fandom. There is a difference. Like how I collect dolls including Frozen dolls. But a fan of Frozen might collect everything Frozen and not really see the dolls specifically as collectables.
I don't know if I'd qualify the opinions here as hate...maybe some people hate WLF - it's more like ethics in a business. Especially in the collecting market (and this isn't just MLP). Even if a customer doesn't care, it's still unfair to everyone to change your mind about a limited production product.They should have been upfront about it, but instead saying it was limited and then going back on that...that's a bit shady IMO. So my opinion has nothing to do with hate. It has everything to do with can I trust you, as a company when you tell me something about your product.
