The Honeymoon Period

Forums, by nature, are seemingly pessimistic cesspools of down-the-drain diatribes. I mean, why go through the rigor of typing out something positive? Way too much work. But, the feedback from the Heroclix community at the moment is overwhelmingly supportive and positive. The message boards are aflutter with butterflies. I'm in complete agreement. Tis' better to have clix back in one form or another than to have lost clix altogether. So, the new acquisitor of clix is blessed in my book. They're allowed to make many a mistake in the coming months. Just today, there was a pushback for the release date of the new Heroclix set. Even though the set will posssibly be delayed by two weeks, not one poster deemed this earth-shattering, the-sky-is-falling news.

But, I wonder how long this honeymoon will last? The positive person I am, I hope it goes on for as long as possible. The new company can shift partial blame for only the next couple of sets. They can also be forgiven for hitting the wall running during the learning curve. Hit happens. When Neca starts producing their own sets, creating their own sculpts (and as an action figure company first and foremost, they won't be easily forgiven if they produce a poor sculpt), and organizing events entirely within their own framework, the peanut crowd won't be so forgiving. It is the way of the internet. Fortunately for Neca, this has an easy fix: don't make any mistakes.

Oh, and make me a Spidey-themed set with Stegron the Dinosaur Man!
