this started out as sarcasm but the more i think of it the more I wonder when figures start coming half assed missing paint apps, crazy eyes, paint not matching up, weak limbs, loss of articulation. where do you draw the line. yea i know im gonna be called a bitch and whiner and lots of other stuff. i'll be told simple paint apps on a cheap toy is no big deal. im not here to complain i just want to know is there a point where you say hey i did "whatever" to earn my cash impress me with proper product. or are you the type that lets details like this slide in other products you buy and will just buy because "Hey at least we got new product to buy"
not looking to flame troll or insult just a bit of fun adult like conversation without the rage people usally like to spew. |

Character selection has been a big one for me lately. Retaliation, though the figures are neat they are based after a movie I am indifferent to.
The 50th figures are like 25% new sculpts 50% kit bashes/repaints and 25% the exact same figure. But 100% of these characters have been released. Over and over again. The 50th, just seems so weirdly put together. How does POC Hawk and Blowtorch fit into the classic renderings of the rest of the group. Wheres Duke and or Cobra Commander for the 50th collection? Its like missing Optimus Prime and Megatron. All this bitching aside, that is where I drew the line. Ill probably pick up Leatherneck, Destro Flint probably a Heat Viper.

The Retaliation 5 POA vehicle drivers were a very vocal line for most of us. Myself included.

Unless the movie line had ARAH styled figures in the line up, I skip them.
I also draw the line on variants, prototypes and international.

5 POA, even though by buying multiples of the vehicles I ended up with a lot of them.
Repeats of main characters packed in with everything Is my main complaint anymore. Although as they accumulate in my collection, figures without ankle articulation are startimg to get on my nerves so I might start skipping characters I am on the fence about over that. |

For me it all depends. In the past I have passed on figures th.at I really wanted because of poor paint apps. I do this with most derpy faced figures. I will not buy into any 5poa/POS line it just doesn't make sense to me. The 5 poa has has been outdated since 1982 when Gi joe made the not so poseable SW line its bitch. Sorry SW fans I just call em how I sees em

Just wave 1 retaliation figures are missing the ankles tho right? Personally I only buy what I like. I don't feel a need for several of the same character,I don't feel the need for arah stuff either.if you want your 80's toys? Go buy them! they're all over ebay!! It's past time to get over it! Long past time!! I want well built figures with good fit&finish,and some variety...good paint apps,constructed of good quality materials,put together correctly!! I think they left duke&CC out,because they where over produced since ROC? Hawk,and Blowtorch make absolutely zero sense in their forms,especially blowtorch! His POC/30th version is still on pegs at Walgreens!! Ultimate CC,and SS should've been 50th IMO! So should the green night viper,the crimson guard,kwinn,3 pack firefly...just to name a few off the top of my head. There's no doubt they're making some really poor decisions high up....honestly,I'm ready to draw the line now! Not because the paint apps or flimsy plastic,cause they keep pumping out the same shit over&over,and it's getting ridiculous! since 2011 the entire shocktrooper mold has been completely used at least a half dozen times! The torso has been reused well over a dozen! SE legs have been reused at least that many times as well! Buying the same toy over&over with the only difference being the color is cool and all when it's coming out of a gumball machine for 25¢,but not $10! Definitely not &20-$100 on the secondary market.
