>>7173105The "belt" is meant to be these multiple layers that shift depending on his pose. I'd say that for that in particular, it couldn't be done better without making one fixed piece that has a more appealing blend of the layers, or use actual fabric. Actually, I forgot about the option of having it be rubber with a bendable wire so you could "pose" the parts.
Also consider what needs to be done to allow his legs to be articulated enough for the other positions that they take, meaning you lose that smooth connection to the belt that is usually facilitated by fabric (virtual fabric, but fabric all the same).
It's a figure of compromises more than the usual amount, I'd say. I think it's understandable, but so is the fact that it might be a deal breaker for some.
