I probably won't get rid of my existing stock figures, but I will purchase the new stuff. I think newer figures like BB or FF.com have shown us how much stock poses have evolved from the original fab 5. Dewayne's stuff will just be another step in that evolutionary process.

Judging by the photos and EG figures that I already have in my possession, the main difference is the McFarlane-ish detail that these figures possess.

As far as Dewayne being the "chosen-one"... to quote Bill Parcells: "Let's put away the anointing oil"

I look at Dewayne as the "next" person trying to carry the torch that Tudor, Miggle, ITZ, LW, GT, BB, FF.com, FOD, and all the custom figure makers have toted to this point. I think the manufacturers that came behind Miggle helped inspired them to revamp their regular Miggle figures and add the Bigmen repros and the Proline ITZ repros to their arsenal.

The standards in this hobby have been raised time and time again. If EG figures raises the bar just as others have done... we the consumer are the ones who are making out. Dewayne might be next, but hopefully he'll inspire someone else to carry the torch when the hobby starts yearning for something new in the future.

my 2 cents,
