>>8122066>having 20-30 PoA isn't hyper articulated when the standards at the time was <20 and couldn't pull off half the poses because the engineering was weak-saucehue.
>I bet I've got more McFucktard figures from that era than you.you might, because i actually slow downed buying toys around that time thanks to being in college and using my limited funds to enjoy myself elsewhere. This is actually when i started going to conventions more and loved seeing all them figures companies were showing off.
I regret buying McStatures from Japanese companies from this time, like pic. At the time, i was blown away that "Oh shit, Japanese companies detailed toys with articulation?!!?!? MUST BUY!" But sadly, they were mostly just McStatues, with incredibly limited poses. But i didn't care at the time, because i was also buying figurines/statues too.
I only started buying McFarlane toys from that era when /toy/ started showing how great those figures were, and surprise surprise, they weren't anywhere close to being the McStatues i thought they were based on the mid-00s McFarlanes.
So McFarlane's stuff still holds up today, albeit a little more basic in posing. it's a huuuuuge leap (wait, how do i say it with n the later stuff was worse?) from his mid-90s and 00s stuff. Figures like pic don't hold up, because it is literally limited to holding one pose. There's even a fucking SPRING to push a joint back down so that it can't do another pose. I don't even know wtf was up with that, because the spring wasn't strong enough to count as an action gimmick. Incredibly slow. Or it could have been broken out of the box.
