    Ngl, seeing a fig from this older Spinmaster line is kind of throwing me for a loop. Like, realky the Grapnel is the onlt accessory of hers that makes sense. I guess the armor is nice. But the scythes is weird and feels like they belong to a villain figure. Another example of Spinmaster making a good figure with poor accessories

    This Firefly is a great example of a big problem with Spinmaster figs: you either get an alright figure with food accessories, or a poor figure with good accessories. This Firefly, with his flamethrower accessories, is great. The mask accessory is a weird choice, feels like it belongs more with a Batman figure I'm reminded of Blue Beetle and Deathstroke. Blue Beetle is a great figure, but his accessories make him heavy in whichever direction he's holding them and can make him fall easiky while standing. While Deathstroke, on the other hand, has limited pose-ability, with his shoulder pads, while having good accessories that work for any other SpinMaster or 1:16 scale figure. It's kind of upsetting that Deathstroke can't move his arms as freely as other SpinMaster figs
