Man I was so keen on the new series ME3 figures but they actually look fail. :(

Come to think of it the first series are no great shakes either.

Thats too bad dude. Why I prefer going to Forbidden Planet where I can actually see the figure before buying it.

I offer up the "Return of the Jedi Hypothesis"

New Hope - Good, ground breaking even.
Empire Strikes Back - Considered by Many to be the best is the series, dark, moody etc.
Return of the Jedi - worst received of the original trilogy, ending the saga, failed to really build on Empire.

This pastern holds true for most Trilogies.
Back to the Future 1 - Good, not great.
Back to the Future 2 - Better than 1, builds well on events of 1.
Back to the Future 3 - decent but weak final chapter.

Alien 1 - Good or Great film depending on who you ask.
Aliens (or Alien 2) - Great film, takes the character of Ripley to a new level becomes the film most remember when the Alien Quadrilogy is mentioned.
Alien 3 - Boring, bad, forgettable.
Alien 4 - Lets not talk about it...

The same holds true for Games, IMHO. Halo, Killzone, God of War, Assassin's Creed 2 Story Arch - 2 good, Brotherhood - ok, Revelation - tired, dated, a worthy end to Ezio's story but not the greatest title in the series.

Mass Effect is a brilliant case in point. 1 good, ground breaking. 2 Best in series the Empire of the Mass Effect series. 3, decent ending to the trilogy but was never going to make it out of the shadow of 2.

It is also why, IMO, there really shouldn't be more than 3 entries into a series, film or game. Most games/films start to really suck by the 4th entry and I don't know many/any films with a number higher than 5 that is still worth my money or time. Game are a little a head in this respect, a 4th or sometimes even a 5th can still be enjoyable but the fatigue can be felt, Call of Duty is a good example of this, IMO, COD4 is one of the best in the series, 5,6,7,8,9 have all have the trademarks of a diminishing experience.

Horizon is the 4th Forza title right? Well then I think you can pretty much count of it failing. Law of Averages.

nope forza 4 is the 4th, horizon is the fifth essentially but the first as a spin off ! i would have welcomed a new project gotham racing instead of another forza titled game

I should have guessed though, the first series was ok, but they are pretty crappy compared to other figures. Shepard, Thane and Tali are pretty shit, articulation is almost none existent. And it seems series 2 is much the same. Garus and Legion look pretty good but Miranda is really crappy, Mordin is also average. And for R1000 I will pass.
