Back in '82, Flash was my fave figure. When the Swivel Arm came out, I just HAD to get him again, y'know? My old Straight ARms, by then, were in pretty bad shape. Unfortunately, other faves emerged since they were a touch more 'exotic' than that 1st series. But it was a mad dash to try and get the revamped figures that had the new articulation.

I know one thing tho. When GI Joe came out with all their cool articulation, it made me wonder just what on earth Star Wars was doing. Why didn't those figures have knees and elbow and proper shoulder joints??? And why were their detailing so poor???
