I was 12. I wasn't a fan of the paint jobs on several (with spots that looked like green zits or nipples), and I didn't think the molds looked much like the movie, honestly, especially since it was made by Playmates, who at the time was the go-to company for likenesses with Star Trek TNG toys and even the exaggerated Dick Tracy toys managed a cartoony likeness of the actors.

I'm a weirdo, I'm sure, and probably the tiniest of minority, but I'm totally a stickler for actor likenesses. If I could, I'd buy Hot Toys stuff, but it's way too costly for me. I remember too well as a kid being disappointed seeing the packaging art or the commercials of kids playing with prototypes of various toy lines, such a Jurassic Park, and seeing the handpainted, movie accurate sculpts, then seeing the actual in-store figures which were bland, or completely re-molded.
