General Marvel Legends

I took twelve seconds to think and came up with several better options for Redwing. And I do not design toys for a living.
 
I do like the navy on the old Constrictor better. I think this new one could have benefited from a swivel at the forearm, but the overall sculpt and design of this one is better than the old one. Pros and cons to both, but I think the pros of this one ultimately will far out weigh the old.

Yeah... I dunno. This Constrictor is definitely a full and complete upgrade. Doesn't mean anyone has to hate the old one, of course. But trying to argue the old one is just as good, or better, as this new one would be wacky sauce.

I didn't say the old one was a masterpiece, but I find it visually more consistent with how i want the character to look. I also have never been that big a fan of the Vulcan body. It's better than the Sunfire body, but I HATE how the biceps attach to the shoulders (barely) and that it's size is also causing crazy scale creep. Banshee should not be on that body.

I get'cha. Like I said - you can still enjoy and even prefer the old one. I'm only saying that we're talking about a figure that is more than 10 years newer. Strictly in terms of 'which one is a better action figure?' - the old one is just never going to stand a chance.

It's like the Thor argument. I think there's valid reasons to prefer the 2012 Return Thor over the Maximum Return Thor. Genuinely. But I don't think the old one is in any way a better figure.

Hopefully we can all move on from Constrictor and onto Diamondback or Death Adder.

By move on to, do you mean get them as figures or argue about whether the figure will be better than the old one? Because we can skip the figure and just start the arguing. New Death Adder sucks. Fight me, bitches.

The tail spikes on the new Death Adder are so much spikier and more comic accurate than the old one! You're a damn fool!

He was also on that weird degraded version of the Bullseye body that got all blocky. Shudder.

I will say, though, he has the exact same issue with the painted on boot tops. I really need them to stop doing that.

At least he Has boot SWIVEL. They also really need to stop removing that poa especially when there are seperate pieces involved already.
 
What exactly would constitute a running hand? I feel like, as someone who runs fairly regularly (outside of this winter because it's been god damn brutally cold), my hands are anywhere between a c-grip and loose like this figure has.
