>>6903945Yeah that's why I said functionally, they're the same general method, just different execution. It's not that they're Y-joints, just that the astrobot's implementation seems sketchy. Like, now that I compare the shots of the front and back of the crotch, the hips are clearly angled out in a V shape instead of being parallel.
Either way, I preordered argus because everything else looks amazing and I'd rather possibly get disappointed in person than have it blow up to something I'm not willing to pay. $70 really is pretty nuts considering this guy's complexity and particularly size. I read the height but seeing how big it is next to 6" stuff was pretty surprising.
>>6903008If I'm reading it right, there are files for exactly that in the original guy's store, so it wouldn't be hard to make them yourself if the company making the ready-made one don't. I'd rather print out some weapons and armor than try to assemble an entire toy myself.
