>>10458727>most were super floppy and couldn't hold a pose wellIS this just zoomer experience when holding a 40 year old figure for the first time or did you forget how smooth the articulation was before you played the figure for thousands of hours and the hundreds of parachute-less drops from the roof of your house?
I mean, even i don't remember when my GI Joes didn't have loose rubberbands from when i was a kid, but when i was buying up 80s carded figures i missed out when i had money as a teen in the 90s, it amazed me how great the toys felt, and it's what made me just start buying mint in box toys just to play with them.
Even today i prefer paying the 1000% premium price of a carded/box toy over buying a adult owned, pet free, smoke free, complete loose toy.
Also, those power rangers were pieces of shit that didn't have the range of GI Joes. Made me wish more toy companies copied that articulation scheme in a larger scale, like COPS did. ... which also eventually got floppy, but that's after thousands of hours of play and abuse.
Thank god for McFarlane and Toy Biz for pushing for newer engineering on super articulated toys.
