>>6123855>Not all diecast is used on joints though.I don't think that was what people were trying to say.
>Die cast can be used to balance a top heavy figure.can be but isn't needed or rather it's sign of either poor engineering or cost cutting measures.
>Die cast can be used on armatures and internal framework to provide rigidity.If we are talking about framework we are getting into something very different then what is being talk about.
>Just because some idiots use it in load bearing joints, doesn't mean its automatically a shit materialIt's bad for a lot of reasons with toys but I'm not where you are getting this catch all issue because most here are talking about the jap markets where it is used in very bad ways with action figures and what not.
>POM in between diecast parts can make for beautifully silky joints that don't disintegrate overtime and yet provides a heft to balance the figure.Right and I think a long time ago in the thread that was pointed out. But it will degrade quicker than plastic if it's friction. Diecast is a pretty dirty metal.
>I will fully admit that die cast JOINTS, specially die cast on die cast joints are stupidthen you have been arguing nothing because I'm certain that's what all the posters have been talking about. Hell look at the post you are replying to, he was talking about joints:
>For that cost a steel joint or a polypropene/strong polymer of some kind>just parade around it like its the third reichAre you this defensive normally or is it from having a bad day?
