Yes this is a crap figure !

But in my opinion these rubbish Baroness modern figures take some beating !

The original is still the best, these are just crap !

Worst figure ever?

Every. Single. Modern. Figure.



They are a crock of sh*t!


For some reason every single new figure has legs that are twice as long as they should!

What is going on here?

Those Baroness figures are pretty shabby but it's the length of the legs that really do my head in.

Surely that Baroness's legs should look like this:

I hope to God that they never make any modern Action Force.

If they do, then the figures will look like this:

wow, i know you guys consider yourselves purists, but are you serious? the 25th anniversary figs beat the sh*t out of most of the old stuff, & tho i loved the action force figures so much (still think the design for red shadows beats any cobra) having every figure with the same face?

each to their own I suppose ?

Im my opinion any modern figure is exactly that ! Modern crap !

too much articulation and no nostalgia value.

The original concept/look has been lost and replaced with modern crap !

The whole point of my collection is stuff I remember from childhood.

Yep, its completely ridiculous!

It shows a large degree of laziness by the designers.

It would never happen nowadays.


But its what makes Action Force Action Force.




......And I love it! Wouldn't have it any other way.
