>>9335914>As well as those ugly hollow forearms are utterly amateur.Legends class, regardless of company, is the one place I'm a lot more willing to excuse hollow forearms. The thing you have to remember with legends class is that despite the magic folks have been able to work in it, it's still an extremely limiting amount of space and the volume that things like that would normally take up always has to come from and go to somewhere. For larger figures, it's easier to work in things like flaps to cover those gaps, shift other things out of the way to give the fists a place to stay, or pull pieces from unexpected places to complete the forearms, but on legends, if you try to rework something like that, you risk having to rework almost the entire transformation engineering. Whatever other cool tricks NA pulled off on him might have had to be taken entirely back to the drawing board to make that happen. Plus, lets be honest here, when it comes to things like that or your complaint about the male/female tabs, they're a lot less noticeable in hand when you see the thing in its actual size. When you see these blown up high-res shots of them, you can easily pick small details like that out but you may miss the forest for the trees as a result. When you have the little bitty bot actually in your hand, the bigger picture stands out far more versus something like an MP scale.
All that being said, I'm not trying to tout NA above MS here, because personally I think both companies made enough missteps with the whole set to not be too stoked about either, but both also have their pros and cons where one did something better than the other and I'm ultimately just saying some details are more worth docking the figures for than others when it comes to this size class.
