>>9826132oh, so you're one of the butthurt people when I said that Super7 is ripping you off with releasing $40 toys of lesser quality than McFarlane/Hasbro/etc released for $20?
>getting in a tizzAdmitting that i don't want to break the brittle plastic found on Bandai's toys? No shit and i spelled it out.
>soft plasticHow dumb and forgetful are you? It was the joints themselves.
I was already pushing the joint to where the soft plastic was flexing, and getting it to do more would involve more force and that's not something i was comfortable in doing with Bandais' thinner, harder, lighter plastic.
I have no problem doing that with the thicker stuff you find on hasbro, Jazwares, Mattel, McFarlae, etc etc etc, which also has some give too.
Do you own any of McFarlane's DC or Warhammer figures? It's fucking insane how stiff that plastic is and they use it for the hands. So you have characters like this Space Marine whose hand is obviously too small looking to fit the weapons he came with, so you have to PRY the hand open and it actually flexes and then clamps back down like a vise.
Didn't put a sword on him for so long because i was lazy about heating him up with water, since my heat gun of 10 years broke.
Anyway, i'd never try that on Bandai's figures, because they don't have that flexible give. Sure, it WOULD flex, but would likely snap 1/8th of the way.
Nevermind if a McFarlane or HAsbro figure broke, i'd only be down $20 and i could find a replacement easily. A Figuarts? $60-80 down and unless its something that was released in the US, id probably have to pay more than that to replace.
