A robot action figure simply "works". The stiffness and ridigity of a toy reflects the way I would expect a robot to move and behave. By contrast, who could ever be more supple and agile than a "superhero". That being said, I love my action figures. They may not "work well aesthetically", but they work very well emotionally, at least for me. From my Mego action figures when I was a child (boy am I old) to the current crop of Marvel and DC figures, they satisfy in me that desire to "be" in a comic. Personally, my first thought when I saw the Cylon figure above was to think, "Boy, wouldn't that look cool going up against my Captain America!" That works for me.
