So I got Abomination delivered today from Amazon.ca. He was on sale earlier this week and I had a $10 gift card so.....
Anyway the figure is pretty good for being an old BAF. I especially like the alternate "exploded" head from that body-horror run of Hulk a couple years ago.
That being said, whoever was in charge of packaging should have their head examined. I get that they have to work with what they have, and using the same box dimensions means you have to get creative. HOWEVER. The way they displayed Abomination in the box is just terrible. They splayed his legs outwards so that his feet were pointing out to the left and right respectively. That of course necessitated doing the same to his legs. So he looks super bowlegged and I imagine that over time that is going to be a problem for the legs and joints if kept in the box. On top of that the way the legs are displayed really highlights the pins on the legs which isn't a good look. I understand the business choices behind using the old, pinned, mold (don't agree with it). However why highlight that fact right out of the box?
Anyway....
