I agree there's a lot of shitty joints on domestic lines though but most collectors don't actually play with their toys.

This. Americucks don’t play/pose their toys, they just keep them in stiff A-poses.

Worse. I keep them in plastic pencil cases and store them away until I take photos. They aren't in shelves. They're in the cardboard box the pencil cases came in.

Can you teach me how to handpose? I wish i could be a cool instagrammer with my 25$ store bought action figure, hiding behind the idea of consumerist art T-T

Much too advanced for me

Yeah, what's up with the joints of modern western actions figures? They have "clicks" like ratchet joints, but they don't feel solid like proper ratchet joints. I can only describe them as "soft ratchets".
Honestly, model kits have nicer feeling joints than those on western figures.

It's the weird rubbery plastic the joints use I reckon. They have to meet US kid safety standards and thus the smoother but less retard-proof joints imports use, which generally use POM and other harder plastics, are ruled out. Generally, soft materials prone to warping or inexact dimensions are terrible for joints, so when you have to make the whole figure out of that it's gonna suuuuuck.
