Thing is, all of these old meshes are just fun to work with.
I thought of another reason why I like the way SeanMartin uses older figures: because he gives them such vivid personalities! My eye will always gravitate more towards the characters who look a bit "larger than life," as though they're "characters" in all senses of the word, conveying personality through expressions and body language -- even if their bends aren't perfect, their textures aren't hi-res, and their clothes don't have realistic wrinkles or whatever. But that's just my preference, not a commentary on what's "better" or not. And I suspect there are others out there who are glad to know they're not alone in their enjoyment of older figures!
