Im sure its to show the profile of the face.... Weve been over this. Mattel has some amazing sculpts that are painted sloppy. All those ball articulation points on Toybiz look messy too I agree on all counts. Toybiz Marvel Legends can sometimes be overhyped. I appreciate the sculpting, but tooling was a weak spot on Toybiz figures. Many a great figure was diminished by the big ugly spherical hips and shoulders and obvious cuts. Also, who in the hell thought articulated fingers were a smarter idea than swapable hands? Toybiz did have some nice paint apps and scans though. And they were an improving game. If they were still around now, I would have no doubt they would be producing killer work. Definitely great paint jobs, and also variants, but the POAs distract me a lot. For some people elite torsos do this, but Im fine with it. Different strokes |

Different strokes Mattel's tooling and Toybiz tooling are night and day. I think ab crunches on Elites are relatively well blended to the shapes and contours of the sculpting. Toybiz on the other hand had large gaps in the sculpting due to the tooling. This is obviously the result of time and fine-tuning and Toybiz were pioneers in the field of articulation, son this isn't a total slam or put-down, they just agent aging as well as some people act like they are. I still like my TNA figures but they are outdated looking. |

Shame it didn't go further...I had hoped for the x pac but no complaints on the elite we got instead
