I think another issue is "Standing". A lot of people say they are hard to pose. With all that articulation, they are EASY to pose, but I can't get mine to stand for beans!

As for posing, I guess I can see where all this articulation COULD make them hard to pose. trying to pose small joints may throw off the angle of larger joint you had already finished posing.


I didn't mean for this to get into a war about why this or that sucks. I know Myself and Craig didn't like the 25th, but I thought we were in the minority. I was stunned when a lot more people had negative things to say about the 25th in another thread and I just wanted to see if this was something to do with too many repaints, lack of distribution, not liking them but not wanting the line to die, or is it because people (like me and Criag) just don't like the molds!?!

All of these issues with the 25th have been discussed before, but it just seems to me that over time, those who WERE ga-ga about them have slowly grown to be dissatisfied with them. Maybe they were ALWAYS haters, but I just didn't see it. I see nothing wrong with people liking them, they DO have a lot of cool things about them. It's just that they are SO radically different than ARAH joes, I feel like Hasbro said "Thanks for buying thousands worth of our product, now throw it all away and line our pockets again!" I feel betrayed and disgusted.

It's like with Vista, I NEEDED a laptop for work. I wanted one with XP, but DELL only was selling Vista. I bought it, it got delivered a few days before I shipped out and 1/2 of my software doesn't work on it! I can't downgrade to XP (Tried that already..drivers aren't compatible) Now, what can I do? I'm STUCK with it! now I have to Re-buy 50% of my software...and Microsoft has already said that Vista was a major mistake and everyone is waiting for Windows 7 to fix this mess....

Sorry...I'm tired and ranting! LOL!
