What do you guys think about Phicen/TBLeague?
Why do you think the idea wasn't implemented by other companies?

Do you think the appeal of action figures is in part due to the engineering/mechanical aspect of figures and Phicen bodies look too much like Barbie dolls?

What happened to the SHF seamless body? Why did they abandon it?

I know the silicone skin has issues with degradation and cracking but let's assume that wasn't the case. Would you be interested in having a Phicen style body for your Goku's and Spiderman's?

They're fragile as shit and require regular maintenance to maintain. It be funny if they did on of the Terminator and the inner skeleton is the robot body though.

No. Range of movement is awful compared to traditional plastic figures. the skin cracks/fold/wrinkles over time, and if the armature inside breaks or needs to be repaired, you're screwed too.

Besides, they look like absolute shit when posed. The skin doesn't bend naturally at all. I'm shocked these are even made as much as they are

I get kind of frustrated by them as anything more than an artist’s reference, the silicone makes it hard to get clothes on them.

I do remember watching a video of someone cutting up a Phicen figure and comparing its skeleton to the Terminator skeleton. Spoiler, they didn't match up.

Bandai did that with Imagination works Goku. It's garbage as expected.for tearing after about 6 months.
