But Mandarin Spawn in particular has the unfortunate fate of being compared to the old version, which had extremely complex paint apps. There's no real way around it, when you make a 2.0 of something people are inevitably going to put it next to the 1.0. And well, I'll say it's a valiant effort, but some nowhere near the complexity of the old one.
To be real though, a lot of the issues would be helped with a simple wash. Like that shoulder pauldron mask on the blue one, it looks so bland without a wash to make the details pop. Todd used to be the king of washes, I wonder why he stopped.
