Just a few thoughts...

Anton really burned his bridges with CL/EF (Like everywhere else), and I wouldn't be surprised if they never released the face room expansion they were working on because of that. There might have bene issues they needed to resolve with him and with Apollo which they can no longer accomplish.

As far as slipped release dates on figures? Hell, I say get them our hen they are complete and right. You can only work so fast on this stuff, and S*** happens. I've run into many delays on things over the years, sometimes because it was a bug, sometimes because I found a better way to accomplish or improve something, and it was worth it to me to either delay something, so I could release a superior product.

I've got plenty of figures to keep me busy until they work out all the kinks on their new figures, and while I might not be thrilled they've run into snags, I do understand, and can be compassionate.

As to Siggraph? They at least tossed a bone out the the passport members, and there's no way that any one or two people could possibly address all the vaious questions about them while the majority of the staff was away. And I've worked bifg shows like Siggraph an dit is NOT some big party time.. maybe yeah at night a few places, but during the day you're lucky if you can kep up with all the questions, and people there.

And they'll return fresh from Siggraph, and look at the new G2 people with fresh eyes, and maybe see things to improve them they couldn't because they were too close to them for too long.

I just suspect Miz is having a bad day.....

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
