I disagree.
Believe you me, Sideshow enterprises is making serious dough by selling the figures at $45 a piece. If they didn\'t, they wouldn\'t be running the company.
The Mego Doll corporation from the 1970\'s were able to make a varying body type for their Incredible Hulk and The Thing dolls, knowing that thier body types would not be the same as the doll body type used on their Spiderman dolls, and the dolls cost the same.
I realize that Sideshow would not be able to make a different body type for every figure they make, but I assume that it would be possible to sculpture a second body type (one that was not so rail thin) and produce it for their bigger framed figures. (And they do have many that they would fit the second body type) Two body types would not put the company in the hole, infact I think it would boost sales as it the more realisitc figures would up sales.
Wow, apparently I\'m the only one who has an issue with this. For some reason, I assumed that there were others who agreed. I guess this is just another notch in my belt, labeling me a weird.
Thanks for the comments though Mike and RCuomo...
