So your ML Colossus stands up straight? The Elecktro from the Sinister Six pack suffers from loose joints, and a neck that can't hold his head. You're not admitting that the Toy Biz Elektra was overarticulated, or you're a fan of the shoulder extenders that ML used in a ton of their figures? I applaud them for trying, but some figures were over-articulated. For the record, I've never bought loose figures off of the ebay, I've been picking them up since the MarvelLegends line was the Spider-man Classics line (which was full of loose figures...), so your argument doesn't hold water.

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

How much more poseable do you need? This goes back to the overarticulation argument.

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



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...

Also, you're forgetting about Hydroman, Shocker, and the single carded Elecktro from toybiz that all sacrificed necessary articulation back in your glory days before Hasbro took over. The almighty Toy Biz sacrificed articulation for....gasp...kids?!!? Say it ain't so!!!!

As far as the new line goes, Rhino isn't aimed at collectors? The new Green Goblin is superior to previously released versions, and the Venom seems to be a favorite, in spite of the knee issue. The super-poseable and black spideys both look decent, too. My point is, it's very much so possible for collectors and kids to coexist, if you're willing to look at things objectively.



P.S. don't take this personally, I am just tired of all the "Woe-is-me-action-figures-are-smaller-now" foks. These are toys. They are more expensive now. Most things are more expensive now. Toys are aimed at kids. If you look through those, you can find some pretty awesome things that work for kids and collectors alike. You just need to remove your heads from that dark, smelly, hole they're in right now to see it. .
