I don't understand what is " Oversculped". How can you get tired of something that looks like the character you are trying to resemble. Maybe we should tell James Cameron stop making ultra detail movies and make them more like "Toxic Avenger" with cheesy special effects and a dumb story ,what the hell tickets would cost the same or tell your favorite pizza guy stop making good pizza and use ragu sauce instead. Or telling Payton Manning to stop throwing touchdowns. There is nothing wrong with quality. Mattel can hire a better sculptor to make a better head , boot and body. What would it cost them not much or maybe nothing at all. I have a friend who make great 8" scale heads and he is unemployed. Once the head and body are made It doesn't cost them any more money to develop and mass produce the figure then the crappy ones they make now.
Why don't you get that? Mattel could make superdetailed 8" cloth figures if they wanted, and maybe then you'd be happy, but they deliberately chose not to. If you don't like these retro figures just don't buy them or customize your ownLeave a comment:

Oh, and I assure you that if Mr. Cameron was called upon to make a "RETRO" movie; he wouldn't be using modern effects nearly as much.Leave a comment:

Considering we're talking about a "RETRO" line of figures, it stands to reason that "oversculpted", in this context, refers to sculpting that looks like nothing we saw in the 1970's. This figure, although pretty awesome, suggests nothing 1970's, or "RETRO", to me. It does, however, look very similar to everything else out there for action figures NOW.
This style, in all it's UNdetailed glory, is not "oversculpted" and is a perfect "RETRO" figure...
Hopefully I've explained myself better.Last edited by LOU; May 1, '10, 9:42 PM.Leave a comment:

This is tbolt's quote that was responding to BK. My point is...that it makes no sense to tell a Guy who collects 8" Figures...to go and collect 12" Figures if he's not happy with quality of the 8" ones.
To me it's like saying...oh, you don't like the quality of the new Star Trek Figures...you should go and collect Star Wars Figures.Like you said...it's a completely different sport.
Basically we're both saying the same thing BK...there's no connection between 8" Figures...and 12" Figures.Leave a comment:
