>>11062228i'm picky about joints and range of motion, but can be perfectly happy with <5poa vinyl kaijus or monster in my pocket tier blobs of rubbery plastic too
>>but muh character selection>so you care more about characters than figure quality. consoomer behaviorit's more these people care more about them as statues or references to things they like in other media
for me i usually prefer original stuff or can be perfectly content with a toy for the toy sake even if i don't know shit about the sourcematerial
I think simplifying preferences or priorities into true scotsman/consoooooom basedak is silly to put too much energy or emotional investment in.
But yeah if a review can't be critical and point out quality of joints or interchangeability of accessoiries or bodyparts that's a sign for me not too bother.
As for "gatekeeping" i think the no statue is a good rule of thumb even if it isn't perfect. It more or less differentiates liking toys with more general "nerd memorabilia"
But yeah I would've liked if people prepared me better for how flaky and maintenance heavy the Mythic Legions joints are. I only have 2.0 bodies so not sure if those are worse, but the painted joints make them loose tightness very quickly and then i'll have to regularly go in with some polyurethane to have them not flop.
A shame, as I love the interchangeability.
