>>8089836>Is that your personal cell phone?Sold it long ago to update to the totally superior Nokia shits... and that's when i realized that cellphones weren't worth getting anymore.
They didn't really do anything and "smart" cellphones like the Danger and Blackberry were so limited. So i stuck with another motorola flip phone for like 5 years until the iPhone came out.
Holy shit, was that a game changer. Didn't get the first generation one, because early adoptors are labrats. I still own the second gen iPhone though and use daily for notes and as my music player. Shit's also a fucking TANK. I've dropped it so many times and there's only a crack on the plastic back. Smartphones I've broken from a drop were iPhone 5, 7, and Galaxy Note 8. They all had cases, but managed to land on concrete directly onto the screen. So even a 1 foot fall onto a concrete curb broke the N8. This is why my Note10 is in a leather case that opens like a book.
>They weren't bad in 2012 thoughLOL, again, this shit already existed 10 years before it. Modern toys haven't improved much. Ball-hinges were almost universal by this point, where those Lord of the Ring figures had ball-hinges for everything like modern toys and sometimes double jointed knees.
Sculpt quality has NOT changed, because we're still using the same technology. Paint has regressed though, hence seeing companies like Bandai forgo paint apps for just the low res sticker.
>those were great, for 20 fucking years agoSo you're either speaking out of ignorance and/or this is just cognitive dissonance
Nevermind that companies like Hasbro in 2007-today have been using the same god-tier sculptors to make god-tier sculpts (when they used their god tier sculptors).
Again, there's no excuses for shit to look bad in 2012, because it would have looked bad in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011....
Nevermind my complaints for those figures back then are exactly why people think of them as "out dated" now
