It does amaze me how far out of their way some collectors will go to trash them though.

I'm far more interested in stuff like this than product that companies like, say, Mattel put out, "low articulation" or not.

The real question is whether they'll make any effort to do things better.

Curious to see how the quality is though.

You will definitely notice it if you look for it, but I wouldn't say it really stands out on the shelf. I've seen five or six in the store and have not seen one that had any more paint than the one in the picture.

It's surprising no one has tried to that before.

Is there enough demand for Star Wars product that Hasbro can massively screw up, change their approach, and get retailers to put product back on shelves? Sure, it seems that way. But their track record of late is largely poor casepacks and questionable character selection, even to the point of killing the last iteration of the 4" line. If you're invested in the longevity of the 6" line (or the collector-focused 4" line) that doesn't inspire confidence. If Hasbro has to cut back to just 5 POA 4" figures they would still be successfully keeping the line going but I can't imagine many collectors would call that a win.

I generally try to give companies the benefit of the doubt, but Hasbro has made plenty of obvious errors in that area before, especially with Star Wars.

I know with the Glyos figures there has been a lot of tweaking to find a balance between having some stock available and selling a lot of it so they have cash to work with.

DCC Arkham Origins Batman and Marvel Select Venom would also be on my list.

Mighty Muggs, Funko Pop, Minimates, etc. are stylized. Kenner was trying to be realistic with late-70s technology, so when I look at these I see limitations and inferior product rather than style despite my memories of playing with similar figures.

The rest you mention had decent sculpts but very basic articulation by today's standards so I think it's a difficult comparison, but I suppose they were right up there with the best available at the time. Funko is obviously aiming pretty high by mentioning Hasbro but I'm afraid it's more likely they're going to end up in Jazwares territory.

Who has actually been successful with their first attempt at making 6" collector figures? The Bridge Direct with The Hobbit? Is there anyone else who hasn't been a major letdown?

I'm pretty sure the factory has never set aside a POP because it looked too bad.

If it's cloth I'm definitely passing. I haven't been impressed with even the limited cloth they have used so far and I can't imagine they'll make enough of an improvement for it to actually work with Vader. I'm afraid they will go this route though and it will ruin the figure the same way it's ruined a number of the 4" versions.
