Well the problem with being objective is the question is how do you 'FEEL" about the 25th figures. Also no matter what all opinions are subjective, there is no objective point of view to be taken with this line of questioning. The very nature of opinions is subjective.
Still I have to say I like some, and dislike others. There is really no univeral "WOW" to the figures. Some I am very impressed with, Nemisis Eforcer (Imortal I know) is one of the best figures I have seen in years, while he is packaged with Falcon who could easily be a whipping boy for everything that is wrong with this line.
My one major glaring complaint would have to be the chest joint, not that it is there, but that it has that oddball hump in so many figures that, well, is just ugly (the aforementioned Falcon, or Duke or Shipwreck are prime examples of figures that are ruined by this design, otherwise they would be incredible figures). Now why hasbro chose this design is beyond me since many companies had already done the same joint without any kind of hump or disruption (ie Microman, Superhero showdown, even hasbro itself did a darth maul with the same joint again without the "Hump").
At first one might think its something artistic or limit of design, Until you look at Storm Shadow, Destro (either version) or Nemisis enforcer and note again that there is no hump in any of those figures. It does beg the question as to why it is there.
Still some manage to work around it somehow (ie Roadblock and Snake Eyes) and be pretty good figures dispite the flaw, but not all of them can do that.
Bazooka looks like he is going to be assigned to the dolly parton brigde, and Barbeque needs to diet (as does Slipstream). While ace and wild bill either need to hang on the back of a door to stretch thier arms or get whacked hard in the head to shink thier torsos (or both and meet in the middle).
So in sumation I love some and dispise others. each one is a case by case basis of my own opinion.
