They'e moved away from being action figures and into being slightly poseable statues. I don't like that trend. It seems all action figures are sliding towards that point. I just would think that there was a balance that could be struck between detail and poseability, and playability. Even the McFarlane figs I own that are pretty poseable have problems. The joints become really loose really fast and the whole figure becomes floppy and won't stand on its own. I don't get it. I don't even like play with the things constantly. If i wanted statues, I'd rather pay a little more for a solid statue rather than a plastic preposed "action" figure that will most likely have some joint flop about.The new Star Wars figures are heading towards this trend too, now coming with diorama bases (which isn't a bad thing) and being preposed in some action that makes it impossible for them to stand in any otehr position or without the aid of the base.I swear if i had a barrel of money lying around I'd start my own toy company that would produce action figures that both looked good and played good.</blockquote>
