Sure paint apps and detailed sculpts account for a lot, but for me, figures live and die by articulation, or some cases lack of articulation.<br /><br />It's why I usually stick with the DCUC and Marvel Legends toy lines.<br /><br />Those YJ figures, outside of a couple 6 inchers, like Aqualad, Artemis, Arsenal, and Superboy kept the usual articulation of a typical DCUC figure, and then some how the manufacturers of the 3 inch line, said "Hey, fuck those kids, they'll buy anything, even these dinky, over-priced toys that can't move much for shit. Let's over-price 'em!" Such bullshit. <br /><br />It's all to keep costs down and profits up, yet it ultimately short-changes the consumer no matter how much $ the manufacturer's trying to save.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-11883660765375084812013-02-01T14:27:31.292-05:002013-02-01T14:27:31.292-05:00yeah i'm surprised i'm seeing it for the f...yeah i'm surprised i'm seeing it for the first time i would have expected that cover to have made it's rounds on the net over the years. let me hit you back over here on your comment on the SS blog. <br /><br />aside from the insane prices of comic book action figures these days the biggest failing of the YJ figures was their in-articulation. even after all these years action figure manufacturers still haven't figured out that people like their action figures to have working joints much like the human body.<br /><br />i currently have Countdown issues 22, 39 and 52 which i picked up because i felt they all had pretty significant Squad tie-ins. but i've also browsed through numerous other Countdown back issues that i noticed had a page or maybe two worth of Squad related stuff in them but not significant enough to pick up. it's possible that page i posted might be from a Countdown issue i missed that's worth picking up but it's just too hard to be sure as of yet.<br /><br />as for Arrow, i was long since burnt out on that teenish/Twilight after the first few seasons on Smallville already. i most of last week's episode by chance but despite having Ben Browder (from Farscape) in it i just wasn't into it. <br /><br />and lastly, i saw your comment on Googum's blog about Marvel Two in One issue#99 for which you may find today's posting on the Rom blog of some interest.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-12986600961496603622013-02-01T13:10:53.679-05:002013-02-01T13:10:53.679-05:00Yeah, now that you mention it, it kinda' does,...Yeah, now that you mention it, it kinda' does, especially the beginning scenes in the sequel where she's giving birth to her fly-baby.<br /><br />I've watched both the original and remake versions of the Fly, but really seem to prefer the remake myself.<br /><br />Larsen's had a bunch of similar shocking covers like this one over the years, but this one definitely ranks up there.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-60947568478917931572013-01-31T22:38:47.760-05:002013-01-31T22:38:47.760-05:00oh my God that cover so reminds me of The Fly rema...oh my God that cover so reminds me of The Fly remake with Jeff Goldblum and Geen Davis.
