It is great that we have blogs out there that review figures for us collectors who want to know.

I like vintage packaging, I like new packaging. I'm sure you can pick out examples of me loving or hating all sorts of things over the last couple thousand articles I've written about this hobby and I thank you for your continued readership, or lack thereof, whichever makes you happiest.<br /><br />I found this figure an odd mix of well-made and kind of boring, which (as you read) I was having some issues resolving in my head. How can a figure be great-- super-articulated, great sculpting, nice accessories-- yet kind of boring? I don't necessarily see upgraded figures as a thrill (or necessary), and I don't necessarily see downgraded figures as superior. This one in particular just didn't smack me upside the head like, say, the 2011 ARC Trooper or the Dagobah Pilot Luke. <br /><br />There's more to toy collecting than posing my figures on the shelf, I guess. I like those ones too, but some of my favorite figures have few to no joints (Battle Beasts from Hasbro, OMFG from October Toys.) And some of my favorite toys have tons of joints (Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics, Hasbro's Xevoz.) I just didn't get a shot of enthusiasm from this Anakin, for whatever reason.

So why do you still collect?<br /><br />That is what most fans all want. The 2002 version of this sucked when it came out. Thankfully Hasbro has finally went back and made a perfect new one that we all can pose however we want and it looks like it stepped out of the movie..how dare them!!Cobra Commanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810409244466461590noreply@blogger.com
