>>10051750Western collector figures pre-Revoltech were impressive for the time but have dated badly. The ONLY company making anything remotely modern in terms of articulation were ToyBiz, and their stuff was...questionable. The competition being stuff like McFarlane, whose toys ranged from schizo-tier articulation (like that one figure with a weird multi-jointed shoulder that provides far less effective articulation than a "normal" setup) or McStatues with random cuts to allow for borderline useless articulation.
In fact the only pre-Revoltech toys I can think of that really hold up are some kids' toys, namely Transformers, most of which were joint efforts between the West and Japan anyway.
