A lot of the fun with both (late) Reviews and the Target Range is to see if these figures can match up. Most reviews on these sites are done right when the figures come out, y'know? But I thought it'd be fun and informative to do reviews years later to see if the figures are still cool. Cuz toy fans love to find what they missed.

So a figure like Interrogator... It hasn't been years but the fact is that he's an A+ figure and if one missed out, they really missed out. I'm willing to say that years from now, fans who missed out on this figure will really have missed out on him. But you take a figure like the VvV Hawk and you aren't missing anything. Or JvC Grunt, y'know?

In terms of ARAH, I want people's opinions if they can withstand the passage of time. We KNOW that figures like Tunnel Rat, Falcon, Repeater and Hawk v2 can NOT be surpassed. Hasbro's had 20 years to do a better Hawk and we've yet to see it, right? Shoot, even Flash and Grand Slam are still great figures and will always be better than, oh... WideScope and RedSpot.

Sometimes, it just comes down to which version looks better. I sample the ARAH Footloose vs DTC Footloose. I'd take nu FutLooze over ARAH simply cuz the sculpting is modernized. The old Footloose, he might have a great body but the head screams 80s which means, there's no tight sculpting in the face. NOT that all 80s suffered from that. Hawk and Tunnel Rat were already mentioned, y'know? Those are just my opinions, of course.
