Sure, ToyBiz was cool for giving each figure their own individual body, but I don't see what difference it makes when the figure were proportional nightmares.

The sad fact is that pretty much all TB ML figs have aged horribly and when looking back at them, they all had way too much POA that would just loosen up over time and make em all look like gangly stringless marionettes. They suffered from "bowling ball shoulder" syndrome, and softballs for upper thighs. Ironman/WM/Mags all suffered from oversized "gorilla arms". The BAF Sentinel is still a thing of beauty imo as is the BAF Giantman. TB Rhino is still great as well. TB sculptors could never make a decent looking female figure & Scarlet Mitch and Rogue were atrocious looking! Hasbro ML line has pretty much blown all those figures out of the water with their versions. Neither company has yet to nail down a definitive Silver surfer as the Hasbro version is undersized, nor a classic Iceman or Human Torch imo. And they tend to over scale certain characters that have no business being BAF sized. Thing, KP, Beast for starters.
