i cant rationalize why i went so hard on potf2 star wars figures when they were preposed 4" 5 poa figures, but generally complain about "straight" 5 poa figures and preposed larger 5poa figures. i guess because that was the only way i was going to get star wars figures?
I bought a ton of those awful figures before I finally decided that I hated their lack of articulation and stupid steroid-enhanced sculpts. I eventually sold them all in one big lot just to get rid of them. |

I'm not denying that the Iron Klaw character had a cool design, but the actual figure was a pre-posed hunk of shit. Nobody would want that.

this is the worst figure in the entire line. im glad it took me forever to get him, because if this han was supposed to be my main han solo i wouldnt have sunk so much lawnmowing money into that toyline. holy shit is he bad. all because the idiot that sculpted it did it based on the scene he was sitting down and picking the wall - and they didnt even do that right because his shorter leg doesnt even attempt to cross the longer one. |

I read this interesting book about toy companies and how they work, from back in the 90s...
https://www.amazon.com/Toy-Wars-Stru.../dp/0812929845 It features interesting interviews with a lot of our GI Joe creator heroes as they worked on a big top-secret new exciting project. It was a great read... until you realize what they're working so hard on was.. GI Joe EXTREME. Then it became depressing. (I do recommend the book, though!) |

I just went back and re-looked at the EXTREME characters. its remarkable how thoroughly uninteresting they all are ! Except Iron Klaw. I could have even seen buying a couple just to have as curios on the shelf... but jeez, so boring!

Ron Rudat and Larry Hama are a tough act to follow. |

I thought mayday was cool. Blackdragon felt too much like someone stole snake eyes and stormshadows dna and made him. Maybe if he hadnt tried to sound like storm shadow and just a normal dude he mighta been cooler.

You know though, from that book I read, that I mentioned in the earlier post, I think Rudat and some of the other classic guys were brought on board to create what became GI Joe Extreme! That surprised me... (I could be wrong about Rudat specifically, but definitely some of the guys were mentioned!) |
