>>5917392I think they're garbage and I don't really understand how it went from "let's tool those unproduced Kenner Alien figures from their prototypes" to "let's buy-up the license to any 70's and 80's movie we can think of and churn out a bunch of awful mushy figures inspired by early Star Wars figures".
Apart from the Star Wars franchise that entire style got dropped like a brick once G.I. Joe and He-Man become popular, the only way anyone born in the 80's or later will remember it is if they bought those awful 90's Robin Hood figures made with the recycled tooling, so who are they trying to make feel nostalgic? People in their 40's?
The vast number of licenses they've managed to acquire is probably the only appeal they have, and even then I can't help but wonder if they only managed to do that by assuring the licensors that the figures will look so shitty they'd be unrecognizable out of the package.
The most infuriating part about them is that I'd love to have figures of a lot of their licenses if they were semi-decent but it's as if they go out of their way to make them look even worse than Kenner's 70's figures.
