Title: I don't like action features!
Post by: Ner_vod on July 6, 2005, 02:23 PM: You know? What I don't like is those action figures where you press a button on the back and they do a Jedi kick or saber slash. I like super posable and articulated figures. But at least Hasbro doesn't use screws on the action figures.

Does anyone actually like action features?

However, the ROTS action features are a heck of a lot better than what we got in the SAGA line, where most of the first figures were either in overly extreme poses or had horrifying action features.

:P

That was in the past. Agreed, it wasn't great, but I think the have learned.

I agree, I thought the action features were much less intrusive this time. The action features were toned down and the articulation was turned up... always a good thing. :)

Post by: dafoo on July 8, 2005, 05:51 PM: they just need to turn the buttons down all the way and the articulation up all the way.

Post by: Jesse James on July 8, 2005, 09:25 PM: The problem I felt that plagued action-feature figures was that it often still came at the cost of additional articulation. That is what it seemed like to me anyway.

You slap ball/socket knees on Mace Windu, or the Anakins and Obi-Wans, and I'd have been a little more pleased with collection 1 this go-round. Plus loose arm joints tended to be right on the tails of an action feature.

#6 Clone's the ideal action-feature-laden figure in my book. Great articulation, great sculpt, and a feature you can't see but which works for what it was supposed to do. I liked the Super Battledroid from AOTC for that reason. Short of more arm articulation, I would've totally been happy with that figure. I love the exploding feature, the battledamaged chest... Those were neat ideas.

Drop that lame-ass extra "world devastator arm" he had and give his regular right arm a swivel joint at the forearm, and I'd have bought a lot more SBD's.
