Got to love the late-90s to early 2000s, when adult collector /toy/s were painted like upscaled versions of those professionally painted promo pics of /tg/ miniatures. Hasbro Marvel Legends certainly didn't have as much paint as their Toybiz precursors, despite evolving to have cleaner sculpts. Just imagine a modern Hasbro Marvel Legends painted like the classic Toybiz forerunners from back in the days of thinned paints.
