Their shoulders aren't broad, their heads are big, their arms are lumpy... their look simply is not up to the standards of modern toy aesthetics. They just don't look "cool".

I repeat: I like ARAH figures. They're not my fav (that would be 2nd Gen figs like VvV), but I do like them. However, part of their charm for me IS their frumpiness. I don't think Hasbro would feel comfortable with making more frumpy action heroes.

OK, now I'm really gonna catch hell... (winces)


You won't "catch hell" from me for voicing a valid opinion! I agree to an extent, and ARAH figures were never perfect (what toy is?), but for me they are a heck of a lot better than the 25th stuff.
