>>8977806>the same material that Figma uses in a lot of their figures.But on Figmas doesn't fully encapsulates the joint though. The only stretching that's going on is when you're pushing against it. It's relatively loose because of how its engineered, giving it plenty of room to stretch.
The stuff we're seeing on this Bandai figure is every motion stretches the silicone or rubber. It has to be tight against the joint or else it'll look wrong.
Even if they were the same material, the bandai joint would still look worse for it. It's akin to how the toe part of a leather shoe will look all creased up (bandai figure), whereas the area where the ankle is will still look almost brand new (Figma). Same leather, but it'll wear out differently because of where it's placed.
