Yeah, from what I've heard, they're just about as awful as they could be.
The only mitigating factor might be merchandising rights; what company owns the
minifig licensing? If it's not Playmates, then I can see why Intelli-Blox
can't make articulated figures, for the same reason that LEGO can't make Star
Wars figs larger than minfig size. Still, you'd think Intelli-Blox might have
made smaller, better LOTR figs, but who knows? Even Block-Men, from which
these are apparently descended, had several points of articulation.
I'm a clone zealot, so I'll probably buy the whole line, but I can understand
people's disgruntlement.
Dave!
