True...just one that won't be able to pose properly and will break the first time it falls off the shelf, or the first time you try to move a leg or swap out a body part.

Sorry...I'm not really big on Todd's stuff. I used to collect the 5 inch Walking Dead stuff and some of their REACH Halo figs, but I dumped nearly my entire collection of McFarlane toys a while back because I got tired of dealing with how fragile they were. The Fortnite stuff looks okay, though I've read similar complaints about fragility where the figures are concerned online, (and much of the new articulation, while improved, looks ugly.) While they were one of the originators in high quality sculpts, until they get their **** together with their plastic quality and articulation, they're still a second rate NECA or MEZCO.

Hopefully these new licenses will force Todd to up their game in those areas, but otherwise, I can't find much reason to get excited about this...especially when Storm is hitting it out of the park with the MK stuff. IMO, The only reason I feel people even gripe about Storm to begin with is the import prices (a sour grapes complaint) and the time they take to get the figures out.
