Like a spindly ape, with lipstick, a prominent jaw, and grapefruits-glued-to-a-stick bust line. Because female figures don't sell.

But I dig the dark blue VAMP thing (it will be given over to Law and Shockwave and Sure-Fire if he ever exists, as an MP vehicle), the newish HISS and the Ghost Hawk II (though I really hoped we'd see the Howler get released).
When it comes to the figs I like more than I dislike. Obvs. vehicle drivers are CRAP. Zartan, CC, Roadblock, probably SE and SS will all find places on my shelves.
Can't really say I'm feeling any of the vehicles. They've all got Arashikage tattoos.

Okay, so... someone enlighten me please? I know during one of the QAs Hasbro said something about not continuing with the super-articulated stuff we had been getting, saving those for characters that would benefit from them. I took that as meaning "it costs too much to give everyone poseable wrists, so we're gonna save it for the ninjas." I remember some folks freaking out, insisting this meant that the line was going back to t-crotches a la JvC. And now there's much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over the vehicle drivers. So... huh?
edit: Just went and skimmed the last few pages of the dreaded "official" thread, and after looking at the high-res pics, I can now see where the rage comes from. However, I don't share it... the vast majority of the vehicles I've bought from 25th on have been for the drivers. So if the included figures suck, I have no reason to buy any vehicles. Sure does save me dough.
