Hi,

That's a possibility. Or that figures of a lesser quality are not reviewed
at all.

Hmm. I guess for me, a photo of the manufacturer's painted figure and a
comment on casting quality and seam situation is all I really require (or
expect) from an in-box review of a resin figure. I don't need to hear reams
about resin folds sculpted in pant-legs when I can look at a picture. I
don't see a difference between ML and MMIR figure reviews / descriptions.
Ditto for your description of his pose, his

There is so much in your review of WA 35202 that could be deleted if there
was a photo of the completed figure so I can judge for myslef whether the
head is "ghoulish" or not. Ditto for your description of his pose, his
clothing, his sidearm, etc. Also, it apprears contradictory...ie, "The
sculpting and detail are exagerrated, with overly deep folds in the legs,
and a grotesquely realized face" and then later..."The pose is not bad, the
detail OK", so is it OK or grossly exaggerated? Though yours is a
construction review and you have included a comment on fit which I find
valuable, I'm fairly certain most of the ML review are of teh in-box type
and as such do not speculate on parts fit.
