The posed hands of Spirit, Quick Kick and the Viper. The closed fist of Shipwreck, CC, and Crankcase. They tweaked Deep Six's arms why not make his legs move?
Why the hell don't they just make the hands like the ARAH... all the hands the same where you can mix and match weapons and still looks close enough to a close fist for a punch? |

Oh yeah.... WHY did they have to befoul the 25th line by putting out a garbage figure from a bad idea in the '80s aka Nemesis Immortal? The Cobra-La addition, IMHO, is when the original ARAH line of the '80s jumped the shark. I realize the tribute factor here, but a Jinx figure would have been so much better pairing with Falcon... even though the Falcon figure isn't much to write home about, either...

Yeah, Falcon is pretty lackluster in relation to how important he was in the movie. Mediocre construction and sculpt that disappoints since the deco is decent and the backpack is so cool.
Nemesis, however, is forgiven for being such an improvement over the original. I am not liking how firebat pilot's head pops off so easily. |

Well, since you asked. I wouldn't say "really ticked off" is an accurate description of my emotion, maybe .025 on a 10 scale of annoyance, but I think the Serpentor mold is very inferior compared to all the other 25th/Modern sculpts and the character deserved better.
It's supposed to be a Devil's Due Serpentor, I guess, but it doesn't even look like that. More like a rejected Valor Versus Venom design for Serpentor. |

I take back what I said before. There is an action figure that pisses me off.
That is Purple Boots Destro. Destro in blue I can live with. Fine. But purple boots!? I find it an affront to the character. The pimp daddy outfit? Fine. But the purple boots? With blue/grey body suit? This is the very definition of why I hate the comic colored action figures. I'd much rather they just have repacked a regular Destro with Breaker. Why is it that some people think the colors in those comics are supposed to be what they look like in real life? The ink palette back in the day was obviously limited so they'd use blues and purples for black and greys. At least they seem to be getting away from all that now. |

We really need an all-inclusive thread just for bashing this fiigure or that so people will get it out of their systems. Oh wait, we have one every week.
Admittedly, not every figure was a winner, but I have yet to see a true fail in this line. Just a few that got reused a little too often. |

That that's how a person's hands position when they hold an assault rifle like that. Should they have added an extra set of straight paws? Sure, but meh, at least they don't have the CC fist or Destro gimp claw. |
