Max Steel

*miru* · 08-20-2013, 09:20 AM

Max Steel has returned to the U.S. market a few weeks ago. The new line has a new cartoon promoting it. Max Steel has actually been going on for years in Latin America, but it only recently hit the U.S. again. I wonder how the show has lasted so long.

These figures are not in the same scale as the older ones, closer in size to the Marvel Legends (but less articulated)

Also, there has never been a female figure in the entire line despite the constant prescence of women a main and supporting charcters, another thing that make me wonder why this line is still alive, as it leads to loads of KBS. My solution: either release the female toys, or remove female presence completely.

I wouldn't include MOTU Classics, since that included the Princess of power stuff.

All of those have had women in the line at at least one point.

Better examples:

Movie Masters
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Batman (Generic)
One Piece

As far as I know it did not. No Robin either.

Wow. Typical Mattel.

I'm glad the MOTUC department in Mattel know how to make female action figures, well made female action figures.

Max Steel wasn't cool the first time. Why do they keep bringing it back?

I've already seen this new line hit clearance, though.
