>>9027411>I don't see how that makes a differenceAutocad and machine lathe vs hand sculpted out of wax or clay. There's a difference between high quality sculpted detail and precise machine perfect geometry.
>They couldn't make a better way to connect the halves?Its possible to have well fitting pieces. In fact many do. I think pic related is pretty good for example.
However, I'll point out that your examples here
>>9027367 are not really good analogs because the way they connect together isn't the same as the way sofubi do. Those joints are just straight pieces held together by friction. Sofubi joints have a lip and grove system where the male and female ends interlock. This is to prevent them from coming apart, but as a result the sculpt, especially on smaller figures, can end up bowing slightly and exaggerating the gap. Larger figures aren't as prone to this because their weight presses the halves together and the greater amount of vinyl lets it have more room to flex.
