>>7609828ok, it was the other way around, they wanted to make sure the bicep was always in the way.
>>7609831NECA was trying to be innovative, and I'm not sure if they succeeded, because i might be biased at how almost all figures are engineered today and prefer this "normal" way over this shit.
NECA actually succeeded in making a joint that doesn't look awful, by making the hinges swivel inside the elbow. So no bicep swivel, but an internal swivel in one of hte double elbow joints. Looks great and increases range of motion over traditional ways.
