So...just how "inferior" in quality are Funskool Joes compared to Hasbro ARAH? I'm debating whether or not to purchase...thanks fella's.

I've heard that the Funskool Skystriker is just as bad as the Valor VS Venom Cobra Moray repaint at TRU from a few years back.

So much so that your title alone is considered an oxymoron.

I love them. They have diffent colors than the US ones. And the plastic is a lot brighter than Hasbro joes.Cardbacks are very thin.

I only have 2 that my cousin sent from a mall toy store near him, but the cards are thin, as well as the bubbles, whixh are often cracked.
The plastic feels "lighter." My cousin's V2 Storm Shadow broke at the bicep swivel immediately. Paint-wise he's the same aside from the upside down tattoo. The identical accessories are nifty, and would possibly be an easier way to gear up a Hasbro version. Dodger's paint-job is different, which is fun, but nor quite as solid as Hasbro quality paint though. Far better than bootleg toy paint of course. I think Funskool is fun for the oddities, but they are in no way replacements for Hasbro figures. |

I really like the paint variation of the Funskool Crimson Guard Immortal.

all depends on the dates,early figures are shit(no lie) but hasbro made funskool have standards for higher quality from around 2001 on. i like them all though,and id say get the figures you like,even if the skin tones are somewhat clear

Funskool figures are not terrible quality, but not vintage quality. They are made of a soft plastic that holds different weapons better. Most of them have terrible paint applications though.
Certain figures like the Toxo Vipers are really worth getting if you prefer darker colors.
