Update: Overhaul!

 So as I've been doing reviews the past year with the newer system of rating, I still like the categories, but I'm finding there are places where the difference on a five scale between one point and the next is still not very consequential. The biggest issue I've been thinking about is the Accessory system. There's still a case to be made for not penalizing a figure for low-to-no accessories. But, some wiggle room for having enough at the same time. To this end, I'm changing most of my ratings to a 3 point system, with the idea of handing out zero's for something that is otherwise a statue, poorly painted, lacking in what it should have, or just so difficult to pose it's frustrating. So here's a totally new system! 

Sculpt/Paint /3:  1. Not well painted, basic sculpt like a kids toy rather than a collector. Few                                             details

                            2. Painted well, attention to detail, crisp lines, and few blobs or missed parts. 

                            3. Masterfully painted with lots of great sculpted details and shading. 

Articulation /3:  1. Basic swivel joints from 5-15. All single joints with limited range.

                            2. Some double joints with a good range of motion in the 16-29 range.

                           3. Very mobile with joints that allow lots of motion. 30+ points. 

Accessories /1:  0. It should have some but doesn't OR missing some key accessories

                           1.The accessories are well done. It's either everything the figure needs or most                                    of the essentials. This might be extra hands, weapons or other pieces. 

Fun Factor /3:   0. Plastic garbage! 

                            1. Poorly balanced, limited posing, not a big favourite. Statue-like. 

                            2. Decent posing options, looks good on the shelf, dynamic options! 

                            3. A top figure in the collection, very cool with tons of options for display!

Verdict /10:       1-5 Poor. This figure isn't cutting it. Is there some reason it's in the collection??

                           6-7 Limited: It has some merit, but do you really need this one? 

                           8-9 Worthy: It's worth having! Have you considered getting this one? 

                           10 Amazing. Why don't you have this figure yet??

I think this latest update will just making writing the rating posts more seamless and then it's out of an easier to digest score out of 10 at the end of all of it.
