Buying them loose will do that. next time go for mint on card. I actually never had that problem with my Legends figures... yes, even with the articulated toes. You're reaching...

Well, if he ain't super poseable, all I'm saying is... DON'T call him super poseable.

Can't fault the man on this logic. You buy what you like.

Be happy when you do get a figure that is more collector oriented, and make the best of it.

Well, it would be nice if we grownup collectors could get SOMETHING every once in a while... but, you missed the point. Which was actually that that very statement would be used as the basic excuse to explain the lackluster line. If it gets any worse than this, I weep for those kids 25 years from now. As for the last part... well.. we HAD it, and boy was I happy... but it went away... right about the time Hasbro took over, I think...
