personally, I have no problem with tyler being a sculpt of ryan rather than a new base figure.  Before GND Anastasia I had written alyson 2 off completely.  Obviously ana gave me a reason to take a second look.  Now looking at her with an open mind as a base figure I think she is actually quite good, and you can take her quite far with just dial spinning.   I haven't looked much into ryan, but I plan to before tyler's release.
