    T2's much better for natural poseability, although I know the diehards'll prefer the WGSH line in T1 bodies.

      I prefer the T2 on the WGSH line, just because it's more muscular and so more super heroic looking under their pajama suits--but I think the T1 figure looks good on any of the slender characters, like the JOKER and Mad Monsters Mummy.

        I always like the T-1 bodies the best ......
        The only thing I didn't like about them was their spread apart legs --- and the fact that they can't sit.

        Even with that, i'd still go for a T-1 any day.

        To me, a T-1 looks more realistic

          ^^^^I agree. Also, the costumes fit the T1 better, I think.

            Can T2 bodies sit? I know when I have posed my T1 body for a photo op, I had to stick a branch in his back to keep him seated...I've even had to resort to tying parts of the body to keep a specific pose, like this one:



            But I prefer the T1s because I like them lean.

              I like T1s b/c I know how to assemble them should they fall apart, and I now have a different reason. I really HATE those blasted arm hooks on T2s! They always come out of the arm hole and dig into the action figures side to the point of damage. I can't even get Batman's arm back into the hole b/c of that hook. It's stuck there, but good! Now poor Bats has got a droppy arm.

                Sherry,
                Did you ever view my T-2 repair demo ...... ?
                It's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it.

                  I am a T1 Guy. . .it is what I grew up with and until I found this MECCA of a place about 4 years ago. . .I had never heard of a T2. . .and never saw one growing up.

                  WILL/SOWTH. . . do you know if TolToys sold T2's down here. . .or did we only stick around long enough for T1's?

                        T1K,
                        I got a blank page when I clicked on the T2 tutorial.

                        I've mentioned before that I had a slew of original T1's when I was a kid. I had thought back then that just the Treks were made in the T2 bodies and thought I had a "special" McCoy on a WGSH body. Ah, youth. Anyway, since I never had any T2 superheroes as a kid, my collecting has been mostly T2. Also, in the hope that someday I'll find my original heroes in some dark corner of my folks storage and have actually "collected them all."
                        It's all good!

                            I just don't like the Metal rivets look if the T1's, so i prefer the T2's. but i wouldn't mind 1 of each of these of my favorite characters.

                              I was always a T2 fan myself. But lately, the plastic rivet T0s have been growing on me. I put my CTVT repro Merry Men on T1 bodies, and they're so cool. I don't really like the metal rivet T1s too much.
