The scale was shit, and the figures don't even scale with each other half the time, let alone anything else.
The overall engineering of the figures was shit. For a line with a scale as big as it was, it's dumbfounding how fucking poorly they integrated joints into the figures.
Their aesthetic was shit. The sculpting was very hit or miss and they went overboard with shading with a lot of figures in the worst way. Then they started doing their own unique takes on characters and they were overdesigned as fuck.
The quality was shit. They never seemed to find the balance with their plastic quality so you ended up with brittle and gummy plastics.
The price was the absolute shittiest thing about them. It kept going up over time and it was never really justified because they never really improved.
tldr; poorly-scaled, poorly-engineered, poorly-designed, poor quality overpriced trash.
