Marvel characters were in the comics first and several have been around for decades before the MCU, so the comic look is generally the iconic look for most of them.

As for Ninja Turtles, I have never seen a Ninja Turtle that had a "Hollywood actor" face. I know that NECA makes TMNT Movie figures, but those are impossible to find in the stores, so I know you're not talking about them, and besides, even the movie Turtles just look like Turtles.

My argument is these characters aren’t real. There’s no “real” Captain America, Thor, or Iron Man. Doesn’t matter if they didn’t exist first on the big screen. I’ve heard plenty of collectors here and other places say they won’t buy theatrical Marvel Legends (WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE, btw) because they aren’t the “real” insert character name here. That is an oxymoron, makes my mind go in circles. To keep this on my original argument, AnthonyCustoms and the gentleman I quoted said they don’t collect figures of “Hollywood” actors, again, totally fine, but I need that same energy applied to other properties I named. Don’t care which came first, the fact is they are still represented by actors on the silver screen, and have been drawn over a hundred different ways. It seems using the “Hollywood actors” in a passive aggressive manner only applies to Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse. I don’t see this as an issue with any other toy line. In fact AC has all of the properties that I named in his personal collection.

I’m not trying to start a fight, because we are adults who collect toys at the end of the day. All I’m asking for is consistency. I don’t post much here or other places, but when I do I make sure I’m coming across logical and not in the manner of posting just to start an argument. That’s not my intention.
