>>8577826>Is that also/moreso bc of character or design? Or are you talking purely about articulation?Again, it's hard to separate, because yeah, if a toy is truly amazing in terms of style and overall wow-factor, I can pretty much always overlook some weak articulation. But a good example of articulation making me lose interest in a toy would be like the Combiner Wars legends class seekers. I've always loved the Guido Guidi design that they used, and Thundercracker is one of my favorite 'Cons, but his lack of neck joint really kind of slammed the brakes on a lot of fun poses, so he ended up tossed in a drawer more often than not.
>Whom? Like, the targetmastery guys/small boys?Yeah, basically. But even in terms of old g1 dudes, I'm fine with a big unposeable brick if it's charming.
My ultimate point is that unlike many other figures, Transformers do a lot more than just posing, so using articulation as a finite guideline for quality is a bit silly.
>>8577822Thanks anon! Yeah, Armorhide just pushed all of my buttons at once. He's easily in my top 5 favorite figures of all time; he's so stout and loveable. And being so small, I can tell he's one of those toys that is basically going to be on my desk forever.
