>>11017160My favorite old vs new example is Jazwares vs Jakks Sonic. Jazwares knew how to sculpt a toy, but not how to articulate them properly, which also caused them to fall a lot due to every characters' unwieldy designs. Even worse was the weak material, causing easy breakage no matter how hammy your hands aren't. It would end being like a suffering decade because Tomy didn't really do a better job til Jakks finally took over. Jakks would eventually figure out that all they needed were ball joint ankles, something I figured out years ago. But that wasn't the end of it what with Prime getting toys too, so now they have taller, better articulated figures that completely blow the fuck out of Jazwares' stuff. And the material is better too, with it being more pliable and durable.
As for Jazwares and their other failures like Mega Man, Hanna-Barbera and Nickelodeon lines, they were still able to improve their skills and ended up making the really cool Fortnite toys
