>>5703644one part of the problem though is that it's a niche market- it's mostly characters that haven't been relevant in over a decade. Most of the LCBH figures are nice, but that Witchblade is ugly as all hell. They may be lesser articulated but the MAC figures looked better. Actually, Shocker's females did look better than that. Pitt looks good but I have no attachment to the character(really he's Hulk meets Lobo and they never much tried to hide him being "inspired by" Hulk). Maybe that's the problem- it's appealing too hard to nostalgia. These brands also do the Neca/Funko practice of "get license, make 1 character". Shame the Mr. Gone figure never came out(though I believe samples did leak) or a Julie.
Shocker did a far better Maxx than McFarlane and did a decent Scud. For the most part, really, what Shocker did actually release wasn't bad, it's just they were run by a dirtbag criminal who didn't care. Maybe "be thankful" applies that they actually got stuff out at all.
Shit, I only want someone to make a decent Mask figure line, both comic and movie/cartoon. The old Kenner figures were ruined by gimmicks and Toy Island's toon line rode on his one-off costumes and gimmicks, I just want a standard Mask in yellow suit with no crap in the way. Only "good" one was made by Asmus and it was unlicensed 1:6. I actually browsed Mask stuff on eBay and the only close one is the Applause figurine.
