>>5794418>Hasbro definitely does a better job with retools and reuse of parts than Mattel. After getting Suicide Squad Joker, I realize that he, Lex Luthor, and Endgame Joker all reuse the same arms and legs, and it's incredibly noticable, and in my opinion rather lazy.I blame 4H.
As much as i love their original designs, everything is very samefag.
There's almost no diversity in the way something is sculpted. It's very "flat", as in they're sculpted to be standing still.
The sculpt is technically great, but there's nothing dynamic about it. Hasbro's sculptors almost always add wrinkles or wavey motions in the fabric and hair, so it looks like it's in motion. That dynamic sculpt is easier to "hide" the samefagness of the retools because just posing them differently will make the wrinkles and shadows shift around to make it look different.
So even 4H's own lines suffer from that stiff look, which isn't to say that i don't like 4H, because i've basically bought from every single of their releases and love almost all their designs, but it's just a minor point on why their retools look like samefag.
