Wow, can you get any more nitpicky then that? Her CHEEKBONES? She is a 4 inch peice of plastic! Her head is less then half an inch and you are worried about the details they put into her cheekbones?

The cartoon faces looked great or that is what I am used to anyway.
Your right, thier not making them.
Yes, it is what YOU are used to. But there are more then one type of Joe fan out there.
There are ones that are fans of the Cartoon.
There are ones that are fans of the Comic.
And there are fans of the Figures themselves.
So by your logic they must make atleast three versions of every figure just so the can make a small group of fan boys happy and sell less figures, OR they can make a version that trys to capture the best aspects of all three groups of fans, and sell more to the greater majority and all the minorities.

Yeah, what he said.
For the record I like the original version of Lady Jaye, becuase I had the original figure. I like that it has the annoying hat becuase it is accurate to the original figure. You know, the figures right? The toys the cartoon was made to sell? The figures the 25th line was made to be in honor of? Maybe they were going for figure accuracy first?
THEN they went back and made a combination of the comic and cartoon versions.
Sometimes I prefer a cartoon accurate, sometimes I prefer and toy accurate, and sometimes I prefer comic accurate. Examples:
Cartoon Accurate I prefer
YOJOE.COM | Cobra Commander
I like that it has the white stripe from the cartoon
Comic Accurate I prefer
YOJOE.COM | Zartan
I know alot of people will disagree with me on that one, but I was glad they went with the DD version of zartan. People will disagree with me, I am fine with that.
Am I being Picky too? Yes I suppose so, but atleast I am glad they are covering as many versions as possible and not worrying about the cheekbones on a 4 inch figure.
