What really grinds my gears.

I think the OP could've ended there just fine.

Jammer, if you ask real nice, C3G might just release our Odin in time for your 12th birthday. That gives us another year or so, I'm guessing?

Eventually, people DID start looking at his thread, since he was one of the few people to continue making them. Now he is one of the premier C3G Heroes. He worked hard and continued even when no one cared, and eventually they did care. You want the same treatment? Then make those obscure SuperHeroes and then people will pay attention, eventually. It will certainly take a while; yet you want them to pay attention to you NOW. What will happen is that you will push people away, which is already happening. Want to be heard now? Then quit the complaining and get your butt over to C3G and help out. You WILL be heard and eventually get your reputation back as the "Obscure One," due to your love of obscure characters.

Thanks for the kind words, Megasilver. It was pretty darn quiet in the customs area when I first started posting.

You left out one big step in the road I took, though. I didn't just keep posting in my own thread - I gave detailed feedback to other custom makers threads and they did to mine. Guys like Eclipse and Allskulls and Hi1 and Whitestuff and GreyOwl all came along and really build this whole area up. Eventually our sense of community and collaboration turned into NM24, and from there, when Griff and Markb arrived on the scene, it evolved into C3G.

The point of course is that if you want to build something in the custom community, you build it. You don't start threads complaining that other people aren't doing it for you (which is to say I agree with you, MS).

Our very first set didn't have Wolverine or Green Lantern or Flash or Wonder Woman or Thor or Hulk or any of those guys in it. But it did have Count Vertigo. Count Vertigo. Anybody who says C3G only does the most iconic characters isn't paying attention to what C3G does.

Honestly, the same goes for this customs area in general and what's in the A-Z thread. I know at one point Drewmanchu (I believe it was him) had a thread devoted specifically to characters without cards and crossed a ton off that list.

There are probably holes on that list, but that's what I call opportunities. Designing a card for every single Clix figure ever made is an absolutely herculean effort, even if you take out the multiples of Batman, Wolverine, Superman, and Hulk.

It's not something that's going to happen overnight, and it's not going to happen any faster because someone posts whining about it.

Speaking from the C3G side of things specifically, I can promise you we're designing and completing things as fast as we can responsibly do it.

badgermaniac has never been associated with C3G in any form or fashion.

I don't think there is one.

Oh, yes, and I'm closing this silly thing. Because it grinds my gears. (And likely is a magnet for neg-rep for the OP, which is never a nice thing).
