>>9271634Metal pins and a lipped metal piece that holds a joint together through basically clamping it together artificially aren't the same thing, Retard. Ultraman copied the 2.0 Ultra-Act engineering and basically never looked back. As a result basically all the figures, from the Heroes to the Kaiju, are very easily repaired due to sharing the same plastic rod joint system. Figures like the Toei Spider Man copied that system for its arms and it too is incredibly easy to repair due to not being a joint basically stapled together by a metal donut. His legs still use metal but arms alone are already a good start.
SS rocks metal clamps all over the place and admittedly I didn't realize it, though hopefully the higher joint thickness versus the older 2010-era designs will prevent OOB plastic breakage over the next 10 years, unlike most Skyriders and some ZX's.
Note how Jack's leg is an actual simple rod while V3 is essentially a barbell design with flared lips on both side. One side is designed to be wide while the other is basically pin-viced into an outwards flare.
