Rather than start a new thread.
I'm on the fence. I got Cobra Officer yesterday, and he's initially cool,... then the flaws shine through. Can't really sit down. Elbows don't even bend inward as much as vintage ARAH. One arm longer than the other
. And yes, they are tall. You can get away with one tall guy hanging around, but the more that come around, the stranger it looks.
I don't even understand the knee joint since the hip joint is restricted.
They reinvented the wheel, but it doesn't roll very well.
It's frustrating because the elements are there for it to be good. The packaging, extra articulation, vintage outfits. If it were totally bad, I could just ignore it like I did the 2.5" junk.
Of course, someone already said elsewhere, they may redo some of these early release if sales of the line are strong. The same "support the line" jargon from 1997 (horrible quality figures) and 2003 (t-crotch $@%@%) ...how about getting things right from the get-go? Stop dividing fandom and maybe you'll get better sales.
