>>9948376>>9948372>I don't understand this mindset. It's an action figure. You're going to see joints. Would you rather it have a diaper? If you don't like joints maybe stick to statues.Weeaboos on /toy/ bitch about pins showing on elbows and knees because their imports don't have them. Yet that looks worse.
People on /toy/ bitch about Toy Biz's articulation scheme for the hips and fingers, yet that looks worse.
I bitch about the Amazing Yamaguchi figures, because they look disjointed as fuck, because the cuts are everywhere, making the figures look like they should be able to transform like a Transformers. The hips look just as bad.
People all have their limits on how busy the engineering can look and how much it can take away from the sculpt, and these hips have been derided for a while. In the SHF threads, people bitched that they don't have the range as the older hips did on some figures.
have some frontbutt looking Mario, who was basically the prototype of the new engineering. ugly as fuck.
