>>10035299Whirl's articulation is super strange.
The shoulders are on stalkswitha ball joint on one end and what I think is a universal joint on the other. And neither one likes to play nicely.
The elbows are double jointed but only curling forward, Not usually a problem but Whirl keeps 5mm ports on the underside of his arms so you can't just reverse his arms to put them on top.
Hips are fine, just universal joints. Again the knees are weird in combination with the feet.
Having the ski feet pointed forward absolutely necessitates bending the knees a bit to keep Whirl upright. Opposed to
>>10035335 where you don't need to digitigrade the knees at all but you'd have the "wrong" foot forward.
With the gift of blurry hindsight I can't even remember exactly why people were up in arms over this toy. Probably just because it has some IDW elements and is there tainted and should be despised.
