WHO SKATES LIKE THAT? <br /> <br />No one does and the sculptors know it. I emailed the company after I ordered Jordan Stall and HIS pose was incredibly unrealistic, looked nothing like the one in the pictures that McFarlane provided (at least this one isn't misleading!), and the pegs didn't even fit into the holes on the base (I was told that if I put him in boiling water, I could bend the legs to make them fit better... WHAT?!). In the email, I was told that they are reusing parts from other figures to save money and (like my Jack Lambert's pants) sometimes using colored plastic and not painting that part! <br /> <br />I have no problem with them reusing parts - that's a wise thing to do...but don't do it if it makes the figure look so bad! <br /> <br />I hope the quality begins to improve on these things!
