>>7833071I'm guessing about the molds. I read Yamaguchi's interview and all it said about smaller size was because ABS and costs IIRC. Who knows maybe the actual material price is that different.
I think the Pros for this AY, despite his reputation, was about visually looking nice. ABS was for holding sharp sculpts after all. And to be fair, still very articulated despite how blocky he looks. I handled skinnier robots less articulated.
If this had one of those power scale diagram hexagon stats thing, with sculpt, articulation, paint, etc. he's much an all rounder than the sharp extremes Yamaguchi figures tend to have. (I can't find a pic of it, here's a bar graph ver.)
