I wasn't interested in a lot of their old stuff but they've recently made serious upgrades to the quality of their sculpting & paint (and articulation but I care a little less about that).
These and the most recent marvel selects are just about on par with NECA and are a good value too, making me consider figures from lines I wasn't interested in before just because they look so good and are fairly priced.
I almost think they should go back and do all the LOTR stuff again if it's going to look this nice. I'd also love to see some more generic figures like orc, elf, human fighter etc. to go with my NECA D&D figures since Hasbro has gone more toon style it would be cool to get LOTR fantasy figures to fill the void.
