If you do a sample of 100 Ray consumers you will probably find like 2 that didn't like him. One is the token nostalgia warrior who believes the Playmates version is the best no matter what (as that's where his loyalty lies) and the other probably has a valid concern about the yellow color gradient not matching entirely with the sleeves.
You're trying too hard to make it a thing that Ray sucked when he did NOT suck. The other guy who agreed with you is a nostalgia warrior and doesn't even collect NECAs or Super7, he just likes looking at pretty pictures of them or something.
I would be surprised if I could even find 4 individuals on this entire forum that has that view.

I'm not going to waste a huge amount of time on this, as it's largely irrelevant to the thread and it's also fairly difficult (and probably futile) to engage with someone who imagines your half of a conversation just to have a point to argue against. But importantly, Ray being a disappointing figure is my personal experience with him and completely independent of how many ever people love or hate the figure. There are lots of reasons he didn't click with me (the poor QC, the sculpt that I felt missed the mark - probably even that I had the maroon version as a kid). It doesn't really matter what it is - I just felt it was a weak effort and one of the worst mutant figures they produced. That doesn't mean anyone else has to have that opinion, but it's not a figure I'm ever going to look at and think they hit the mark.
