I know in a perfect world we would get super articulated figures at a great price. When it comes down to it, how do you feel when you need to choose?

Articulation is a must, especially in the feet, i hate the way some of my retaliation figures that lack that articulation have to be stuck in werrd toes forward stances/poses, especially on stands....will pay any price to keep that articulation plus the rest of the super articulation 25th ME joes are known for. In fact they can reduce the card art to a simple plain cardboard back with no logos/paint/art no weapons an dno stands if we must...but no articulation shouldever be on the cost cutting chopping block...especially before giant spring loaded missile bs is packed in with the figure.... and big especially with that stupid sled Firefly comes with...

More articulation, less springloaded weapons.

Cheap poorly articulated figures are worth it if the mold warrants it for custom fodder.

I want the stands too but if it had to go to preserve the figures and prevent them form being like the lame bullshit retaliation drivers for lame cost cutting measures...then they can get rid of everything but the figure and his helmet if he requires one and I will be happy. All the weapons from POC and Marauders gun runners will supply more weapons then Hasbro can make for a 20ish figures...plus tehres tons of stands to be had

They could also just put all the stands and weapons in some kind of accessory pack. I'd buy a bunch if they were good. The biggest money saver is just getting rid of the stupid spring-loaded BS That neither kids nor collectors want anyway. |

I would pay a little more if it means having a figure I can pose properly. I would also like the keep the accessories. Not every figure has to be a POC SE or Reg SS in terms of gear, but it kinda defeats a lot of the point if you end up with a great posable figure with jack for accessories. ie;Retaliation Red Ninja.

True, also they could just go the DG route and include generic stands with the figures. It would save them some money and save me a lot of trouble matching 2800+ stands to figures once I've finished moving and need to set all my Joes up again.
