>>5860309I really don't think Hasbro has released many good figures. they are so cheap and don't make bafs worth the money. i say these are the good ones:
aim soldier
fin fang foom
the blob
sand man (not the baf)
ONSLAUGHT
maybe queen brood...
that said, toybiz was the opposite. the packaging was printed on $100 dollar bills and they seemed to have lost money with a lot of figures. the results weren't really worth the cost to them, but they did it for the love. if say toybiz released the following great figures:
Mecha hulk
doc ock
galactus
sentinel
apocalypse
giant man
mojo
modok
green goblin
face off hulk
hulkbuster
of course hindsight is 20/20... with action figures a lot of them are really awesome at the time they are released but then you look back and wonder what the hell you were thinking. but its also important to consider how a figure holds up.
my advice as someone who has collected marvel since childhood is to sell shit off while you can and limit yourself. don't buy a figure just because it's a character you like, make sure the figure is actually sculpted, painted and articulated well. legends are huge right now, you don't need to support them by buying every wave, especially waves with shit bafs (space venom) or butchered characters (new Iceman is still shit).
also, these fuckers are now the same price as selects. selects has released even fewer good figures, but given their recent success (spec Spidey, rhino, carnage, venom) it's more important than ever to be discerning.
import companies are also getting the license and releasing way higher quality stuff.
the point is: be cheap and don't support shit figures. they will keep pumping out poorly Deco'd bucky caps until they stop selling.
