"HOWEVER, no one should dispute the fact that Jim has vastly improved the Jessi model's functionality! Jim's Jessi moves and bends like a dream!" I do. But until I read this, I was keeping my mouth shut as I don't presume to speak for others. I dislike pretty much everything he's done. Does that make any of it bad? No. Does it make any of it good? No. It is a matter of personal preference. Nothing more, nothing less. Many folks will spend their money on his work -- I will not. He has not improved the figure. He has simply made the figure different, and tried some new things and done other stuff that makes it different fromt eh original. Improvement is, again, a subjective thing. Never tell me something is an improvement in a way that makes it seem like the second coming. All it does it raise hackles and make me want to list all the reasons it is not. I respect Jim Burton and his work. It's just not for me.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
