Heres the deal guys, I have three of these figures, all are their take on the Mad Monsters. My Mummy and my Dracula are really crummy, I mean to the point where arms are popping out and feet/hand pegs arent even driven all the way in. Oddly, my Frankenstein feels fine - almost as if they improved their standards midway through the production run(s)?
My question is this: Are there certain lines that are BETTER than others, in terms of quality construction? (I mean, Jesus, my Drac's suit was made so SNUG that his arms wont even raise up - CHEAP!)
I am VERY interested in their 'Mad Clowns' dolls, and my wife is strangely obsessed with their 'Mad Monsters Series 2'. (The latter is Jim's fault, but..) Are ALL of these production runs CRAPPY?
I'd also love to hear about their Super Legends lines and their Space 1999 line. (Especially the latter...I'm working a deal for roughly a dozen of these guys, I'd like to know if they will be OK, or if I'm only buying suits and heads!)
Side note - I have ZERO knowledge when it comes to 'Space 1999'...havent seen one episode....but hell, they have some 'basic' looking aliens, a guy with a MELTED face, some dudes that look like they would be great 'space counts', and BRIAN BLESSED, so it cant be all bad!
Watch and listen here at around 0:15....I swear, this is MY experience with the CTVT dolls...only my WIFE is playing Sucklord!
