Action Figure Woes: Disappointing toys.

 Have you ever bought a toy, whether in store or online that looked awesome, but when you get home, it's a steaming pile of bullshit?

I have.

I started taking pictures of a couple of things that I got for the Advent Calendar and ended being a bit disappointed with a CERTAIN item. To be fair, I had  second hand knowledge on knowing some of the shortcomings of it. But, when you have no idea of its shortcomings is a lot disappointing. 
Like say when a toy is supposed to be in 1:12 scale, but is actually closer to 1:15. Or how 1:12 scale figures from line A do not mix with 1:12 scale figures from line B. Or a "super articulated figure" that ends up being unposeable because of awkward articulation. At stores you can't figure this out.

Here's hoping that Snake Mountain makes it before Christmas.
