I went Crush Crawfish, way better name.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

The Crawfish for the win. I feel both sculpts are generous in their details, but I think Crush is a much fuller figure, bringing to life a character that has always been generated in a two dimensional form. After seeing what the BEB figures look like from different angels, I don't think they are the perfect figures, although their sculpting are of high quality, I feel the method in which they were produced takes away from their fullness. Cheap production can hurt even the highest grade figure. Bandai has usually always been quite the perfectionist when it came to production.

Maybe I'm wrong. Do all the BEB figs have that slim frame?

A tough one, but mace vs claws, I think a Mace can crack lobster (or crawfish) claws. Eggster would eat Crawditty for brunch.

I went with the Megaman figure. The BEB is pretty kewl, but the MM figure looks better i.m.o.

[Ghost Lion]

I went Crush. Those claws are awesome!

Yeah, the BEB guy is cool, but Crush Crawfish wins. Also, his theme music in-game is a direct rip of the TMNT cartoon theme!

BEBs sculpts are very compact. For many sculpts, the arms are fused to the body. It's typically the legs and a weapon or two that extend past the bulk of the sculpt. However, I don't think it would be fair to describe BEBs as 2-D. A glance at the all figs in the line reveals that the sculpts are full of detail from any angle.

Are the BEB sculpts as "open" as MegaMan sculpts? No. But I tend to prefer "compact" sculpts over "open" sculpts. I've found that I'm mainly attracted to compact mini-fig lines like Mordels, Cheap Toys, BEBs, BBSD, SD Kin, Spiral Zone, BEN 10 Alien Rocks, Gegege, etc. I also tend to like all the smaller, more compact figures in lines such as Kinnikuman, Dragon Ball, and MIMP. For example, my favorite MIMP sculpt is also probably the most compact:



I tend to stay away from lines that have a lot of open-sculpted figures with free arms, legs, and weapons. So, even though I think lines like MM, Necro's Fortress, and Battle Beast are filled with nice looking sculpts, they're not my cup of tea.

Also, in the case of the two sculpts matched up here, I like the organic, fantasy look of the BEB over the robotic, sci-fi look of the MM. I voted for the BEB.

gotta go with the crawdaddy, they taste much better than bad eggs

[musclemenkids]

Well it took a while, but in the end i went for crazy clawfish. Those Crazy Claws are just Mega! (man). Where as the tiger fella from the last round had skinny legs i didn't much care for, this guys skinny arms are perfect when compared to his oversized claws. There aint nowt wrong with the bad eggz bunch guy though, he is still very cool.

MM all the way!!

[dankingery]

i had to go with the raw eggster. my love of the bad eggz bunch grows stronger every day. and the possibility of thegodbeast customs of the bad eggz bunch figs gives me hope for a brighter future.

[GRANDTHEFT]
