He's still worth it if you are a fan of the character (I am- best X-man ever) but all these little things- Harley's bad wrists, Magneto's scale, Gambit's ab crunch, single-joint elbows, John Wick in general combined with the ever steady price increases for un-asked for add-ons... are making it harder and harder to be a supporter. But as always- you do you- I'm glad the lack of an ab crunch doesn't bother you.

I guess I don't have as much skin in the game as I only buy Mezco figures that actually interest me to the point of paying that much for them. For me, I'm not even a big fan of their work to be honest and only have a Planet Hulk and Magneto (not sure where his scale problem is?). Too often they come across looking like modern Mego dolls IMO with wacky proportions and ill fitting clothing.

I'm waiting on Gambit and i'd easily sacrifice the slight articulation for the lack of sacrificing the aesthetics. There is no denying that it simply looks better when there is no cut in the chest armor or thighs as evidenced in the Legends figure.
