I can't get over the new Night-Viper not having boot cuts. What are we DOING? Could they really not figure out where to put a boot cut on a figure with horizontal lines all over his legs??

I watched Shark Face's review on him last night. He mentioned the lack of boot cut, but that was it. He did go on for a full 10-15 seconds about the rifle strap being flexible and soft, and showed how it went this way, and that way, and that way and this way. He also was disappointed in how warped the rifle was...like he didn't JUST take it out of the packaging.
 
Hasbro always finds a way to fuck up my favourite characters. Ever time. Some character I couldn't give a shit about if it had the cure for cancer stamped on its back? Perfect. Beautiful, well-engineered figure that they clearly spent a lot of love and money to make just right. A top 10 character I've been asking for since the line was announced, that was a childhood favorite? Fuck it. Who cares. Make him a weird color, don't use too much plastic so make sure he's kind of small, and take away some articulation just as a treat.

Goddamn, guys.

Found Wet Suit at Target - this is supposed to be Oscar Isaac, right?

I can see it. He's helmet on for me personally. Fiddling with him brings up another thing for me though. All my figures with fins tend to be unstable and fall forward. I would have thought they'd be some of the most stable and if anything fall backward.

I've had a major crush on Oscar Isaac since Rise of Skywalker (for some reason didn't notice him much in TFA and he just annoyed me in TLJ). I can see a slight resemblance in Wet Suit, but not enough to satisfy my want for a true Oscar Isaac likeness in a 1:12 figure.

Did Poe never get a figure with a proper likeness? I know the first figures were awful, but I thought they did re-issues or something with all the updated face-printing tech?

The best one was from The Last Jedi, but it wasn't a digital print. It had some minor airbrushing on it. The sculpt probably was good, but the paints did it no favors. It was also only available in a 2pk with a super redundant figure that I can't remember. He was single carded. He and Finn didn't get figures for Rise of Skywalker, which is when digital face prints were standard for Black Series. There was a Rey from The Last Jedi that did have a digital face print that snuck in, but Poe and Finn got the shaft. I'm not aware of any reissue of either character with a digital face.
 
Got around to opening Darklon, what a beast! I tend to read up on a new Joe after I get one, I don't want to color my own headcannon too much but I do like some detail. Got to "Darklonia" and I was good, I freaking love 80's cartoon/comic writing and all the coke-fueled lunacy that goes with it.
Darklonia. Shares borders with Eviland and the Grand Republic of Meanies.
 
So... I have to be honest guys... I've given up on this thread. With Ru and Damien posting so prolifically, every time i look this thread has grown by like six pages. I don't have the time to keep up so I just don't click into the thread. I still love you all but... I'm crying uncle.
