>>6216717Revoltechs have had sort of a bad history with hips.
- At first, they did dual cut hips, which actually worked pretty great but people didn't like it because...people have an innate hatred of cuts, I guess. It could create odd breaks in the sculpt I suppose, but it had a great range of motion, and that's all I cared about.
- As of Gurren Lagann, they moved on to Revolver jointed hips mounted into the crotch vertically. This was frustrating because you couldn't move the hips on the X and Y axis simultaneously, you had to twist the joint around to move on the other axis.
- Around the time of Big Boss and Raiden, they started mounting the joints pointing horizontally, towards the butt. This worked pretty great, it finally allowed for simultaneous X and Y axis movement. The downside was, it couldn't be used on characters that were too spindly or had too little butt to mount the joint into.
- As of Deadpool, they have switched to a true balljoint. This works BEAUTIFULLY. Huge rang of motion and very easy to pose. Spidey has the same. I'm not sure if they'll carry this on to their non-Marvel Revos, but I sure as shit hope they do, cause they're the best hips yet. The only downside to these hips is that they make the figures not 100% Revo-swappable--but the popularity of making Revo abominations seems to have died down anyway, so no big loss I guess.
>>6216723Same here! Exactly the same, actually. I own both and the Jason one is easy to pose in comparison. I think the pegholes on the Takeya one are super tight, which is what makes the joints pop apart when you try to turn them.
