Scott Neitlich is lying once again

 I thought that after he quit/got fired from Mattel (heard 2 different versions of the story) that I wouldn't have to hear much from Scott Toyguru Neitlich. Well, apparently he's been starving for attention by attacking Super7, announcing the end of MOTU origins and Masterverse since the get-go. While, yeah, I'm not a fan of both lines, I've sampled some fogures and decided they're not for me. Hell, I've mellowed out on my stance on them.

He's been consistently peddling a story that Mattel loses MOTU in 2023. Isn't there an upcoming cartoon on Netflix? Said toon is supposed to have tie-in toy products... Not even going to mention the Live Action Movie that was leaving development hell recently.

Basically, he has been acting like a stereotypical disgruntled ex employee. It seems that he's mad as hell that MOTU is doing far better without him than it did with him.

But when even Pixel Dan has to get into the whole fray and call Toyguru's bullshit out, well, Toyguru fucked up!

Sure, Pixel Dan does the professional thing and doesn't say any names, he called out Toyguru's bullshit by stating the video is not true. 

Now before anyone says that I'm siding with Pixel Dan here because of my "anti-Neitlich stance", just shut up. It's a matter of credibility. 
Who would you believe:
The guy who has an actual positive relationship with current Mattel to the point that he's the unofficial MOTU Ambassador, or a former brand manager who left the position nearly 10 years ago and has a youtube channel with plenty of videos attacking his former employers.

Obviously, the answer is not the guy who is desperately trying to cling to his 15 minutes of fame that were over nearly 8 years ago.

Scott Toyguru Neitlich is not a credible source of information. Especially when it comes to what replaced his magnum opus. Now giving Caesar his dues, Classics is the Best MOTU line made by Mattel... mostly due to the 4Horsemen sculpts, which made the toys appealing.
