>>10030619>Aren't action figures, like, waaay behind in terms of technology?Depends on who is making the figure. Bandai can be a crap shoot, but, as a whole, they've improved both the articulation and sculpt of their figures. Look at a Goku figure made in 2016 vs one made in 2022 and the difference is pretty clear.
>most figures these days still can't touch the ground while crouching and look naturalTOA's Synthetic Human can absolutely crouch and look natural.
Figures are either niche hobbies, nostalgia lust, or things you buy for children to keep them busy, but they don't have the same money behind them that video games and cell phones do...so the incentive to innovate and smash industry benchmarks isn't prevalent in the same way.
