>>7089562>Icons sculpt was pretty softLOL WUT?
None of this applies to any DCC sculpt... unless it's required for the cartooniness of a cartoon character.
>All that not only without compromising articulation, but improving it a whole lot from Icons. Sorry, but where's the improvement? The only thing that was added to the Essential's line was the thigh cut. Whereas the the Icons had two torso joints, one a ball joint and the other a hinge to give them a much wider range of motion.
Do the Essentials even have pull down hips like Icons did? And those pull down hips gave them a few degrees of rotation too, like Figuarts used to have.
Everything about the Essentials line seems like a step back, from the samefag bodies, to the poor proportions, and the cut backs on articulation.
