Interesting thing to note, Baxter's wearing a wedding ring. First noticed it in the initial reveal, then went back and looked at the original toy. Lo and behold, he's got one sculpted on there, too, just unpainted.

As for the sprues, while I do agree that they're an homage that could've best been left off, it's not like they're a difficult thing to remove correctly, with little to no excess left. Just takes a good eye and a pair of wiresnips or an Xacto blade. But yeah, if you're paying that much for something on sprues, it better be a high-end model kit.

I agree about the toy villains, I will probably be buying this line for those.

As for the sprues, it's not about cutting them well, it's that they won't be painted anymore. From what I've read on comments here, they're painting them on the sprue.
