True and although I can't speak from experience about the Winter Soldier figures, the First Avenger figures were made from seriously cheap plastic.

Even if the plastic Hasbro uses is not the best it still is better then what those true heroes figures are made out of not to mention the detail in the hasbro figures. I dont get though why Power Team Elite has awesome vehicles but ugly as dirt figures.

And like you say, the vehicles look pretty awesome. I think I'll be checking a few out soon.

get a hummer and the blackhawk. Those are the best imo. Not to mention the little bird. It reminds me of the overwatch in Modern Warfare.

Yeah, I was looking at both of them today but the little vehicles - like the bikes and the gun-quad - were what really caught my eye (I'm pretty short on space right now so these little sets are the ones that are really appealing to me right now). And the fantasy ones look pretty neat, too. We'll see what happens.

Unless I am dreaming I also remember a little ski do which was kind of cool.

Yup, there's that one, too, plus there's a trike cannon thing, although that's hugely expensive at $11.

Anyway, I digress. The figures we get (and have been getting for over a decade now) are lousy, but all clues point to the PLA figures available in China as being pretty good. |

Why can Hasbro make awesome (sometimes) figures, but can't do a vehicle to save their lives?

Because the figures are cheap. If they tried to produce figures sculpted and accessorized like Hasbro's, I'm guessing they would be equally expensive. I'm also guessing a significant portion of the target market of PTE is selling to Joe fans. Joe has figures, why try to compete with that? What they most usefully can provide is vehicles different from what we already have.
