I went to the Marvel comics website and Joe Quesada's blog. (Joe Quesada is the Editor in Chief, he writes about interesting things. His blog is here: http://www.marvel.com/blogs/Joe_Quesada/). I commented, asking him if he'd write about the approval process for this figurine.Marvel's silencing complaints too. Screencaps, people, screencaps.
Two hours later, my comment was deleted.
Do you think Marvel is trying to pretend the whole thing never happened?
Is Joe Q even the right person to write about this? He's editorial, this seems more like a licensing issue. I don't think he has any control over that sort of thing outside of the actual comics.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for speaking your mind, but this strikes me as more like telling your local fireman about the guy who keeps breaking into your house.
David -- You've got a point. I know at DC we can bug Levitz.
ReplyDeleteStill, you have to register to post. A note directing them to a better spot or a answer comment telling them to talk to another person would be better than just deleting it in this case, given how Sideshow Toys is behaving.
Quesada = Didio / Levitz = Dan Buckley. And yeah, I suspect the statue is something the comics side of the business has little control over; not unlike the movies.
