>>7240064>pretty standard for modern action figures that aren't seamlessshit.Way to ignore 99.99999% of collector toys. Shit may stick out, but they literally aren't outside of their bodies.
Do you see Hasbro's Mercy figure? The joints are connected into the inner parts of the body. Same with Figuarts. Same with Figmas. Same with Mafex. Yamaguchi Revoltechs and other Revoltechs he defiled? Look at the Rev shoulders on SpiderMan, Deadpool, or the TMNT. The joints are ontop of the shoulders. Yeah, you can hide them by moving the shoulders upward, but now the figure is shrugging and makes his arms look like they're coming out of the neck instead.
>I'll take those "enormous" gaps over those hideous ab crunchesNice bias, but ball joints (and string/rubber ties with a ball-waist) came out of the pre-1900s. The hinge that's intergrated into the sculpt is newer technology and as shown in the videos posted above, they offer more poseability, especially when combined with other joints.
>As opposed to MLs with their gloriously designed waists and mid-shin swivels.I'm not a hypocrite like you. I can admit when something looks ugly. You have to pretend your shit doesn't smell and claim its beautiful.
And at least the waist and shin swivels are integrated into the sculpt, making them stand out less than hollow gaps.
>Speaking of hyperbole, this nonsense.It's not hyperbole. Look at Magneto's armpits, the undersides are giant spoons. Look at the sharp edges on the knees, shoulders, and elbows for Spiderman, Deadpool, Gwen, and Magneto, because a lot of the sculpt was glaringly cut away. The cuts aren't natural looking at all, hence looking cheap.
>competent engineers Again, this is your bias. I personally don't want to see cuts everywhere, with sharp edges, and gaping joints. This is why i prefer companies like Mafex, Hasbro, Figma, NECA, etc who actually produce accurate looking sculpts, instead of looking like an Amiibo that got cut up to insert joints.
