this
Articulated fingers were a neat idea, but 1/12 hands are too small to properly articulate in a way that would let you actually pose them well. They almost always just looked like karate chop hands or curled monkey paw fingers, and the fingers could never splay out due to the knuckles all being on one hinge.

Not true. Every figure I've had with articulated fingers was better than preposed hands. Why limit yourself to four hand poses when you can articulate every finger, pulling off every pose the articulation allows? Its the same logic as action figures

Given that at 6" scale for a standard humanoid hand, the only joints that are possible are at the base knuckle in one axis of movement, I'm gonna say no. Lots of MP-alike 3P Transformers try and give too small characters fully poseable hands, and the result is usually "typewriter fingers" which are useless for anything other than gripping their weapons (which are held in place by a tab anyway). For big figures where you can actually work in sufficient jointing it CAN work (I doubt anyone would by Figma Strength were it not for the articulated Ogre Arms) but more often than not you end up with janky looking- and sometimes fragile- hands that can't even do that many poses.

ball joints existed for smaller figures tho.

only reason you don't see them smaller is because children toy makers like Hasbro can't make them too small cause theyre too delicate and collector companies like wouldn't use them because adult collectors dont like articulation.

3a robots have smaller hands with working finger engineering, which would absolutely work with human sized hands too.

But again, no one really tries because adult collectors prefer less articulation on their toys, because it doesn't break up the sculpt.

ToyBiz figures feel like a better value than modern ML, however some of them have aged very very badly, mostly the female figures. Off the top of my head, here's a couple that are better or at least equal to their modern counterparts

- Man-Thing
- Silver Surfer
- Vision
- Hawkeye
- Ghost Rider (series 7)
- Apocalypse BAF
- Sentinel BAF
- First Appearance Spider-Man

Patently untrue, hence the reason that actual collector companies (like Bandai and Kaiyodo) are known for excellent articulation. They don't use articulated fingers because at 1:12 scale it's impossible to make human fingers poseable without them looking horrendous or being too delicate. Those 3A bots get away with it due to being robots and having square fingers- look at the size of the average Figma hand, can you imagine trying to joint those fingers?

You mean, like Revoltechs?
Revoltech used to be a pretty popular brand until recent years. The threads themselves are half as popular as they used to be in the early 10s.
Try to post that stuff outside the REvoltech threads? Usually ignored, if it isn't mocked. Whereas before, stuff like the Revoltech Alien got a lot of positive talk. Same shit some of the Iron Man figures.

Either way, even you're proving how adult collectors don't like articulation because you perceive it to be ugly. Kids lines like Jazware's Fortnite line has articulated fingers and there's almost no negative talk about that.

Also, the point i made about 3a's robots is that their hands are small and are extremely well done. No bigger than your average male superhero's hands.

They're also just blocks with rectangles on them. Not hard to articulate. If you want natural looking hands it becomes much trickier.

And even then, it was a dicey situation. The Dropcloth (the yellow one with the red arm and shield in the foreground of that pic) was the smallest fully poseable hand 3A ever made, and it was fucking terrifying to work with. The fingers are so thin, and packed with so many joints, I consider it a minor miracle than I never broke any.

Based as fuck, I have all of these as well and that ultron, spider carnage and doppelganger were all among my favorites as a kid. The little sub lines toybiz put out like the The Vault line that Ultron was a part of or Marvels Most Wanted were absolutely fantastic. Even if the figures were semi random they themed them well and had awesome sculpts, cool features, and great card art.

The original OP only stated "Toybiz."
Don't be a Leftist retard who doesn't understand growth comes in small steps.

Hasbro has improved with coming out with minion packs and larger characters!
Good for them!

However the figures are still bottom line, cost cutting, percentage bullshit.

Hell some Marvel Movie guys never got a real toy run.

Cool concepts in the movies were not given a ballsy response in the toys.

Not many were thrilled by "Age of Ultron" or Thor "Dark World."

However I couldn't really build a squad of impressive Dark Elves or Ultron.

They have yet to even make a action figure of a Asgardian soldier.
>Although I admit they are kinda faggy.

Todd is clearly leaving Hasbro in the Dust.
