I was just wondering if anyone else here collects them. Just got my first taste of them thanks to Boog, and they're a bit of a mixed bag.
On one hand, they're really cool- things like light piing for the eyes on the Lightning Draw Shadow I opened, removable cape, and leg squeeze activated quick draw feature.
The problem is that all of these have been done at the expense of basic articulation. I know that 5 points was pretty standard back then and that was what I was expecting, but the figure only has 1 point of articulation at the hips for each leg.
So it's kind of this weird thing where as a basic action figure, it completely fails, yet the gimmicks make it really cool (plus it's The Shadow so that makes it awesome right from the getgo).
Am I alone in thinking this, is this unique to Lightning Draw Shadow? What are other people's thoughts on the line?
