>>10051756>No thanks. It's probably only going to be for select figures anyways.Of course. Every joint has it's pros and cons. If they are releasing some generic schoolgirl that is more likely to be in neutral poses or non-action poses they aren't going to bother with this new joint. The experimentation is to increase the value on releases that benefit from it.
IMO in action poses the Heroine X looks significantly better with this new joint vs a traditional figma knee. However, in the neutral standing poses it's undeniable the old joint would be vastly superior. To get more specific:
The new joint:
-doesn't require thigh meat to be shaved to get full range, looks better from side/back
-not offset to allow range of motion, more accurate leg anatomy
-gets rid of weird gap/sculpt break that happens in action poses without full bend (see pic posted)
The old joint:
-looks amazing in neutral poses and fully bent knee poses, more seamless look (like the pic you posted)
