I’d be way more interested if they do Samurai Showdown since they have that snk logo. Storm did a few figures from it, but kinda left out a lot of my favorites and honestly, I’d have more space for them in this scale.

The new wave of Joes looks pretty damn good to me. Super excited for a new '85 Snake Eyes.

...but retro-style 5POA action figures are not. 😒

This "deliberately poor" figure production and marketing trend is really getting out of hand.  Is there really a larger market for crap than for decently-sculpted figures with modern articulation? 🤨

As long as nostalgia-brained individuals with money to burn keep buying, apparently so...

Yes, unfortunately. People only have a certain amount of money. They can either do a simple nostalgia style toy for cheap and have a chance at a profit, or produce a really cool toy that costs more to make and sell that sends them into bankruptcy. There’s only a handful of consumers that even remember V at this point and even fewer of those that would ever care that there’s a toy, so they produced something cheap and easy.
