MAA sword is made of harder plastic than his club, and it fits in his hand VERY well. conversely, my webstor's hands must be horribly distended as the shaft of the hook just flops around in his grasp... while the swords and magickal staves of everyone else pretty much fit spot on. was glad to hear they're hooking adora up w/ looser duds than teela. nothing like hindsight, eh? gotta say, i'm delighted this time around… not just to appease poe cuz he thinks we're whiners, they actually answered most of the questions asked this time around… and i just finished the grand tour of the "ask mattys" and they mostly answered everyone's questions.

I'm intrigued by their answer to my question, and I'm wondering if their answer is really an answer or not. If they come up with some awesome theme that does add value to the figures, then awesome. If not, at least they divulged some info. Yeah, definitely some better answers this time. I'm intrigued by their answer to my question, and I'm wondering if their answer is really an answer or not.
