Visual fidelity vs engineering

As with everything, it's all about the balance.

I would say for the movie series, probably visual accuracy. Dunno why, its just the way I feel. Probably stems from me seeing the toys as "toys of the movie", not the movie being a "movie of the toys" if that makes any sense.

Any other series, engineering.

Very true.

I like my toys to at least look somewhat similar to the character they are trying to be, but of course 100% accuracy is not possible. Even if a toy looked 100% like it's show's counterpart, if the toy was made horribly, then I would not pick it up, thus I vote for engineering over visual fidelity.
