>>10112012What's odd is that what I've heard of those lines is that they are pretty much display only because the joints will give out almost instantly and you have to either use the joints as little as possible or play around it to get the poses you want as sometimes they will come loose out of the box. Even people that like SoC will admit to it being a QC lottery.
It isn't really hard to see why, though. All the pressures usually put on joints by physics are intensified when diecast is involved. If there's no diecast anywhere near close to the joints, then the weight of the diecast will weaken or interfere with the proper functionality of the joints; if there are joints made from diecast, they will eat at the plastic in an instant and make them useless or bang at each other and make both halves loose; even if it's a more involved but discrete design like the pins seen on these figures knees, the rough surface of the metal will scrap against each part and turn it loose.
