I wish I could have some optimism that the SDCC version will be painted, and painted nicely, but who the hell knows? It appeared to be slightly different colors from the other one in the promo picture, but it could just as easily be the exact same figure with slightly different accessories. Negative. The main thing this line succeeds at is capturing cartoon styled figures. Adding extra articulation will detract from that and potentially mess up the aesthetic value. If you want highly articulated Joes then Classified is the way to go. |

I think the argument against it ruining the aesthetic is what Nacelle has been able to do with Motorcycle Mice from Mars and Cowboys of Moo Mesa

Exactly. Consistency is key. I get the desire for new features (including articulation), but at the end of the day when companies are fairly deep into a collectible line, IMO, the figures on the shelf need to match. The noticeable difference in aesthetic is one of the things that drove me away from continuing to collect lines like SSC's Star Wars (and before the changes I was a completist there). It seems even less necessary when you take into consideration, as you pointed out, that there are more affordable alternatives that meet that criteria.

Common man... You know what you did. We all know that your loyalty for Valibaba makes act just like them, trying to put the doubt on the mind of possible or existing customers...

Yeah, I'm hoping they stick to the same design they've been using with the Joe Ultimates. If I want highly poseable Joe figures, I've got Classified and Mezco. With Ultimates, I'm looking for straight cartoon replicas. That's the most important thing.

I'd be pissed if they changed articulation style mid-line. I like uniformity in my collection.

I'd assume it's probably being saved mostly for TMNT since those tend to be their best selling Ultimates line. Especially because they probably have to try harder to get collectors into the TMNT 2003 stuff, since Ultimates has always been more of a 80s/90s nostalgia bomb not a post 2000s nostalgia bomb.
No way they invest more tooling into lines that are performing badly for example. Of course we have no idea HOW Joe Ultimates is performing. |

For those interested in the extract in which Brian Flynn mentioned about defects on that Simpsons figure and Offering Replacements while reaching customer service:
