Do it right or don't do it!
First off, I would like to give props to all who have and will make contributions on this effort. I overstand how valuable ones time can be, and to make sacrifices of writing letters, organizing, and painting is exceptional. I think that if you're going to do something...then you should do it right. You can...and only will hurt the efforts of getting positive attention for the hobby by doing things in a non professionsal manner. I can sit here and be quiet, but I will not. I owe it to my fellow MFCA members to speak up...so I will. No disrespect to Treks 1, kudos to you for putting your best foot forward on creating a Custom Tom Jackson figure, but you gotta step up your game. That is not acceptable for television. If you send something to a TV station, it should be perfect, or as close as you can get to perfect. Always be prepared for the worst. We often complain about the hobby being represented in a negative light...so you have to think before you submit items to a media outlet to be possibly shown on TV. What if they decide to make fun of the figure. After reading the letter on how much the game has changed, then receiving a less than perfect figure...how wide of a spectrum do you think the joke range would reach regarding our beloved hobby. Don't take this personal...appreciate the fact that one of your EF brothers is willing to speak up, rather than go behind your back. This is not just addressed to one coach, the same applies to everyone involved in this venture.
