As for the cobra's. Ive seen the first cobra figures and their all kinda lumpy. big heads and paint apps not very good,since i belive they came out about the same time,id call figure quality to be about even,cobra had a few more points of articulation but im sure if the line woulda continued it would have rivaled and possibly surpased the cobra universe.

Well, I meant posability more than proportion, the latter of which was excellent on the Palitoy figures.

But now I'm older, I see things the other way round. Some of the old America ARAH Joes are hideous with their weedy limbs and melon heads, and I prefer the 'look' of the Shads with their realistic poses and well proportioned bodies.
