I see. Thanks for the clarification.

 

"The paint job on this figure is outstanding, and you'll find yourself wanting to put it in your mouth."

WTH... So odd.

 

Oh for goodness sake, I don't mean every discussion is terrible. Discussion is good but I agree with Vangelus that the ridiculous battles that can sprout all because of disagreements is ridiculous.

 

Apparently some people didn't get that short comment I made so I might as well go onto explain this a bit more.

Discussions are very normal and healthy for fandoms. Whether it be discussions about engineering, plastic quality or really any aspect, that's totally fine. However that's not what I'm referring to when I say that I agree with Vangelus in regards to his views on the squabbling over third party. What I am talking about (and what I'm sure he's referring to as well) are all the ridiculous fights that sprouted over the most minor things and I'm not talking just standard discussion but full-on arguments and battles that have occurred over things such as nitpicks, the scale of one figure being literally a hair off and more.

 

Striker Manus is everything 3rd Party done right. I would dare more companies in 2017 to try to follow up figures like Manus and Riotor Despotron with more unique designs and original takes on classic characters as opposed to another bland year of too many same looking uninspired MP-scaled stand-ins.

 

I am totally stunned that neither Master Made SDT-02 Rex or SDT-03 Apollo made this list. They are both amazingly wonderful figs
