Hasbro is remaking characters (that were done better in the past) and using production cost as an excuse to make them crappy. I hated the idea at first because I have seen the effect on a few Marvel lines, but then I thought they could be a good throw-back to the vintage Kenner Star Wars line. Still, it would be so easy to make their knees bend so at least Han could sit down to shoot Greedo.
That picture of C3PO almost made me look twice. I would buy a shiny droid with limited articulated but not that dull finish imitator.
I guess this Darth Maul set is based on him getting new legs in Clone Wars . Too bad Clone Wars fans cannot predict whether or not a "normal" fully articulated version will be made some day later.
