Its legs, and ankles in particular, are so thin/frail that it can hardly stand for more than a few hours even on a base. Both figures are free moving with no stuck joints and the one of them took a four foot fall with no breakage but it's the falling that is the problem. I know a cheap doll stand would do the trick to support the back and brace the torso under the arms but it's still frustrating to have to deal with the falling. Regardless of current troubles I overall like them both and will keep one with its gun like the beginning of T2 while the other will have the limp walk going on from the end of the first movie. I just wish that Stan Winston hadn't given the Terminator such little feet and thin legs with a full upper torso, that and the almost useless toe articulation that NECA gave it.

Then today I went to the flea market again and scored some nicely priced Spawn figures. I got the blue Angela to go with the Necroplasm Spawn I got last week, and they do look really nice and very '90s together, and then I got the original Spawn and Redeemer since I like Spawn so why not. Unfortunately due to the toy's age the Redeemer's right arm is no longer attached to the shoulder except for the wires that light it up, with the cape on though it holds in place but I'll probably tape it from the back later to better hold it on and the tape shouldn't even be visible because of the cape.

Nice! Really torn bout this. Do I want the BAF movie version or this one? I'm pretty much a comic purist so...plus it'd save me money I guess since there'll be lots of Hulkbuster wave figures on ebay minus the BAF parts....hmm???

Awesome score on the Spawn figures but man I hated that Redeemer when I first got him. On the back of the package it showed his arm with more joints than what he actually had and I snapped mine in half trying to play with it. Didn't help that he was my favorite "villain" in the comics. Loved my Spawns back in the day though. I had a whole backpack full of them that me and my friends would play with.

I remember seeing the first Spawn toys with the comic when I was little and thought it was just some new superhero toy and started getting them as they came out. Had no idea about the maturity of the comics until a few years later.

Just curious, and this is to anyone who has picked these up, how are the joints on these? I was close to picking up Malcolm for my GF's birthday since she is a huge fan, but some of the joints, especially on the wrists looked scary brittle.

Unless it came out of the case like this, TRU really shouldn't have accepted that return if that is what it was. People really need to stop being so damn devious with these BAF pieces and trying to get something for free. All they are doing is hurting honest folks, and giving us collectors a bad name by making us look desperate and underhanded.
