>>11150671Their Lord of the Rings offerings were pretty bad and I'm not surprised it was limited to just a few figures. I think the worst thing about them is that we have the Toybiz 30POA figures to compare them to. Those are full 1/12 scale and the paint apps aren't even that bad for 20 year old toys. Comparatively, Loyal Subjects' toys are smaller, less detailed, and have very basic looking paint that doesn't do justice to how the characters look in the movies.
Diamond Select's figures are bigger than the Toy Biz ones which I think is a missed opportunity. And even though they released more figures than Loyal Subjects, their line was still a limited series, and despite the nice details you still get all the quality control and durability problems that come with Diamond Select.
I think the place where Loyal Subjects / BST AXN is finding a fruitful niche is their IDW Comics Ninja Turtles line. They're the only toy company who took a chance on it, and a lot of popular characters who first appeared in those comics are getting toys for the first time now. The articulation cuts are occasionally odd but the detail is overall good and a lot of the toys are bigger and more substantial than the other figures they've done. It's apparently doing pretty well because it's turned into an entire line which is a bit unusual for Loyal Subjects.
