I like the design of these stands better than the SW/GI stands that have been included to date. The ID badge/dog tag shape better, as well as just a flat platform, no ramp at the name.

I do like the uniformity. It shows they're part of some organization, also it harkens back to the days of 82 where they all had essentially the same outfits.

That said I am only buying the female figures. I am tired of the substandard o-rings off "relaunched" o-ring line the past decade snapping just by looking at them. I started replacing all these figures for the most part. I haven't been happy with the previous 25th versions to date of them.

I do think the arm/wrist construction of the females does say something about how thin and frail the actresses of the day are becoming. It is either that or Hasbro is making the weaponry way to big. My guess is it is the weapons are slightly out of scale, while capturing the true frame of these ladies.

Finally head sculpt and paint issues. This is one of many things that killed the Indiana Jones line. The uneven paint aps on the faces as well as any small defect is magnified 1000 times on the smaller heads. Also, while I don't want to totally concern the line, but what is it with Hasbro that they can capture some people's likeness perfectly and they struggle mightily with others?

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".
