Thanks so much! I agree and really appreciate you saying that. I was back and forth on doing this video for that reason, so I am glad it didn't come across that way.

@@5POAFigureReviews you did well. Honestly there have been so many videos over the years that I’ve had to stop watching because of the way they frame their narrative has bothered me. It’s one thing to make a statement such as “what I look for in the figures I collect is a mix of representation, engineering, quality, etc.” and it’s a whole other thing to be like “this figure is garbage that should’ve never been made, boycott the company for having even made it”.

They do it for clicks. Hyperbole gets views on the KZfaqs.

@@uphilliceskater very true

@@uphilliceskater yeah I know, and when I’m watching a video and see someone talking like that, I just click do not recommend and block their accounts.

lol thanks Jon. I enjoyed that too

Thank you so much, Jay! I really back and forth on doing this for that exact reason, so I am very happy that the positivity came through.

@@5POAFigureReviews we are all guilty of it brother. I try to avoid, but you don't see too many train wrecks or lions fighting alligators in real life. Ahahahahaha.

lol very true, but my thought it that putting a video out there would be helpful for raising awareness that the Select exists for collectors who never heard of it. It was a store exclusive, so isn't as widely as widely known as the 90s one.

@@5POAFigureReviews True, true!

Ahh you're right, good catch!

You are absolutely correct, I don't know how I messed that one up

Yeah some of those are really rough, especially Jean and Mystique. I've been fighting the temptation to hop on the "get Cyclops and remove the paint" bandwagon, but I expect we'll get him soon enough without it. They didn't pay for that new tooling for nothing after all.

I'll take it! Thanks, Andrew.

@@5POAFigureReviews I use to love him with Judy Garland.

Very true! I don't know how I let that slip me up. Good catch!

Oh my, how did that get there....

Hahahaha yes they do

I have seen a lot of customs with her, so I think you'll have fun with her

Thank you Tristan!

You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words

Lot of little frustrations throughout, sadly.

That is a fantastic idea! Great observation

You're welcome Pete! Glad you enjoyed it

I said the same thing about his hands in my review of him, but it never even occurred to the awesome potential for G.I. Joe weapons. Great idea!

Hopefully we get a Gold Label alternate version at some point that's a bit closer to the comic.

Oh no, I was thinking of dipping my toe into the Super7 TMNT. What's wrong with the Bebop and Rocksteady?

@@5POAFigureReviews the super7 bebop and rocksteady are pretty good the bst axn loyal subjects bebop and rocksteady are terrible lol. Super7 ones are just expensive haha

I fear it may only get worse lol

Thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed it. That's a great question, and I don't know that there is an easy answer. I am sure that there are those who just treat it like a job. And we also don't know a lot of what goes on behind the scenes, as far as what the toy makers want versus what the finance department expects, or even the licencers for that matter. But I do agree that a lot of these are bafflingly simple fixes.

If you think that S looks like raw clay, just take a look at the Blackest Night Superman's. Yikes.

Thanks!

Yeah, had I gotten those the Drifter at least probably would have been on the list just for the head and paint job.

I would love to but unfortunately I don't collect enough Turtles to make an informed list. I did get the two Street Fighter sets and the Universal Monsters, though. I'd like to explore more with Turtles this year.

Really? That is so cool! Every figure is someone's first, and I love hearing about it. Where has your collecting taken you since then?

@@5POAFigureReviews I bought it last December. Then I bought another one the Dark Detective the one with no jacket. Im new in collecting action figures

Very very true.

Sad given that Barbara is my favorite female comic character

I'll tell him he needs to start making content ha

I haven't tried stop motion, but I could see it being good for that

You sure are! Nice

Sad about Jungle Hunter. I enjoyed the first wave of those. Only new figure I got was the glow in the dark Alien

@@5POAFigureReviews Jungle Hunter Predator is the only figure I've bought another company's figure right after and gave away the first one. I bought a Hiya Toys AVP Celtic predator and it's my favorite figure of the year from any company.
