I really wish there was some kind of unwritten rule for designers to refrain from using glue in their sofubi assembly process, like the zig-zaggy tip of the tail on this one is glued on and that's not okay. If there's a clear variant that comes filled with something and I want to take the filling out I pretty much can't because some parts are glued permanently. I guess it's fine if it's used to add minor details to the sculpt, like eye beads, but connecting main parts using glue should be a big no-no. Only traditional heat slotting method is acceptable.
Then again I'm not sure how widespread the use of glue actually is, some people use it a lot, most never do. I imagine all the popular and high demand figures are glue-free though.
