Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer has a great editorial over on his blog about accepting the little flaws in our action figures. His experience is very similar to my own–little paint imperfections and loose joints used to bug me a lot, but I’ve come to accept them as a part of being an action figure collector. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I love them, but I accept them.
(Note: the above photo is actually a bad example, because I did decide to replace this Sinestro when the opportunity arose, but it was the best photo of a flaw I could find.)
