>>5773913Well, that's not entirely what I was saying. Articulation that leaves sculpts nearly untouched only really look good in extremely neutral poses. Once you start moving them, they tend to start looking awkward. This isn't in inherent problem of sculpt vs articulation, it's just a trend I've noticed.
>>5773939This definitely looks a lot better, but I still don't love it. Something about having the articulation in the sculpt rather than separate joints just makes it look very weird. I think it's because that's how a lot of older children's toys were articulated. Rather than having your double jointed elbows as separate pieces attached between the two arm pieces, it's just the two arm pieces together. It looks cheap, and feels cheap.
>>5774129No. My collection is at around 175ish and only 6 of those are statues.
Again, all of this is incredibly opinion based. There's no way to see a jointed elbow and think it's not jointed or it looks completely natural. Some people might find these sculpt cuts nice, I don't. I like my elbows and knees and hips and all that to have joints that are completely apart from the main sculpt, some people don't. And at the end of the day I strongly prefer articulation to sculpt, but that doesn't mean I'm going to put something I find ugly next to a really nice Robot Damashii.
