I'm not inclined to buy him and as I haven't I don't have to worry about a refund. But I guess as he is advertised as Mike3 the expectation was that he'd be somewhat similar to Mike2 - an extension, if you will. V3 was much more an extension of V2 because the figure looked mostly the same and you could flow with the tighter, nicely posable mesh and cleaner look. If he'd been talked up as a new figure altogether with a different name, even with his problems, the criticisms would be less charged. He, wrongly perhaps, has too much of Mike2's shadow on him. I mean besides being Male, this new figure is not an extension of M2 the way V3 was/is to V2. And I think that's where people's expectation, hit the wall. He'd be much more 'acceptable' as an oddly formed, needs more work, new character. Kim! The morphing Polynesian Man! Perhaps. : ) But DaveSo and others are correct. One can develop him into an 'out of the box' figure that they like and save their own .cr2.
