Hmm... I see your point. I still like XMO better because, like I believe we have talked about on a different thread, I enjoy the hip joints. I don't know what it is, I enjoyed most Joe poseability but I still like XMO better.

The paint apps issue is apparent to me, but I've bought the figures that typically look better.. So I haven't felt the affects yet. On the subject of harder plastic, I always feel like the harder the plastic, the more likely it will break or something. That's my own paranoia.

I like the Ice Man quite a bit. He looks pretty cool and while I hate the hunch of some of the Marvel figs, I can get past it.
