>>10052190>If you're gonna hold up a figure as the "standard" it needs to hold up. That Goblin does not.Sure is retarded weeaboo who may also be a third worlder who can't into English.
Do you even know what a standard is? All it basically means is that it should share all those qualities: super articulated (integrated sculpts), full paint apps, accurate sculpt, ETC. AT MINIMUM, so of course something can be better.
Name all the super articulated toylines before McFarlane and Toy Biz started doing their pissing game in the 90s and 00s. Toy Biz eventually won that, since McFarlane made a hard right turn to make statueshit.
Name all the collector lines before McFarlane (there are actually quite a few, but quite different fro what McFarlane and everyone since produced).
Who even follow's the Revoltech way of making toys now? As the other guy mentioned, there were companies like Figma, but most companies turned away from that. Where's the standard there, when most companies integrate the sculpt with the joints?
Nevermind that McFarlane invented the Revoltech joint years before the REvoltech line even existed, so even that was Japan copying western companies.
>If you're talking MicromanMicroman was kiddy shit. Sloppy shit attempts to be made as cheaply as possible, hence using samefag bodies and sometimes DRAWING shit that should be sculpted. But i was talking about the poseability, which was GI Joe territory, because cut joints are very limited. Sure, it'll look dynamic, but that's like McStatues where it's preposed to look dynamic, without giving you true freedom.
Hence early revoltechs being outdated and OP being wrong. Imports were years behind western toys.
pic is what collectors wanted and what collector companies have been producing for over 20 years now.
McFarlane's Mcstatues fell to the wayside in the late 00s and Revoltechs are now niche Amazing YAmaguchis that few people buy.
