But, whutevs, don't let me stop y'all from lambasting everything from the choice of comedians (there are two legends, without a doubt, in this line up: Rivers and Bruce) to sculpts and articulation. Not my wheelhouse, but interesting and cool imo.

I would say Bill Hicks is worthy enough to stand alongside Rivers and Bruce. He was very much in the vain of Bruce in his social commentary. I've only seen a little bit of Rivers' material though. Strangely enough, more familiar with Phyllis Diller. Probably a licensing thing, but Carlin would have been a better start for either Bruce or Hicks spot. However, I think because of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, there would be an increased interest in Lenny Bruce.

But the biggest turn off for me is the price in comparison to the head sculpts. If these were 3.75 5 POA figures for 20 bucks or 45 with an album that would be a better deal.
