    Articulation in toys (continued from the Picture thread)

    That's true, and I said as much that a Cybertron-level of articulation is really a baseline that anything needs today. It's just that the attitudes some segments of the fandom have about articulation being unneeded or bad baffles me. I don't need ankle tilts, no, but I can't think of a single...

    Articulation in toys (continued from the Picture thread)

    Eh, I don't. No, Legacy Armada Starscream doesn't have his spring-powered missile launchers but I can actually pose him. I'll take increased sculpt accuracy and articulation over the stuff that limited that in the first place. The one exception I'd say is Armada Megatron's knife hand. We need...

    Articulation in toys (continued from the Picture thread)

    I think a lot of it is people trying to take shots at the current crop of Studio Series and Generations offerings. I saw more than a few people take the position that figures of random toy only characters from RiD '15 gimmick lines were good despite being as articulated as G1 offerings, with...

    I'm sure someone at Paramount has a size chart to show how all of these models and characters scale with each other. If nothing else that could be used as a reference. My list above for a potential TFO line was just based on a hierarchy of visual storytelling. Cog-less forms weren't included...

    Articulation in toys (continued from the Picture thread)

    I don't need that level of articulation either and I roll my eyes at reviewers who come down hard on a figure because it can't do the Van Dam or if it doesn't have toe joints. On the other hand I find the argument some people have been peddling since RiD '15 and seemingly picking up steam...

    Articulation in toys (continued from the Picture thread)

    I've come around on older toys a lot recently, and I think being used to Power Rangers Megazords not having a lot of articulation helped. I've collected a lot of old Brave stuff over the past few years and a smattering of G1 figures. They have their charms despite being bricks, and I'm happy I...

    Articulation in toys (continued from the Picture thread)

    I always wonder if the people who said that stuff were ever kids themselves because while I'm almost 40 these days (💀) I very much remember thinking it would be neat if my toys that couldn't pose that well could do it as well as those that could. I mean my dudes had to be able to pull of sick...

    Some people stand in the darkness Afraid to step into the light Some people need to help somebody When the edge of surrender's in sight Don't you worry It's gonna be alright 'Cause I'm always ready I won't let you out of my sight

    I don't think it's supposed to be that way it's just... hinges that don't have a locking point and gravity.

    I get that, but even then I think it could have worked within the new way of doing things. They had a "core" TFO line yes, but every new SS release that came out alongside it should have been TFOne related. We got Optimus and Megs, sure, but Elita, B-127, and Sentinel should have come out...

    Sixo has a review up of Fire Guts God Ginrai and the flaps droop in base mode on his. May just be orange plastic not wanting to cooperate.

    Yeah, you could knock the entire core cast out in one wave, two waves tops, of a "standard" movie line.

    Yeah. I missed Action Masters myself. Heck, I've never had one. They look fun though. I can see the appeal. I can also see why everyone hated them though. Not only did non-transforming figures supplant actual transforming toys in the line, but it was the swan song for G1 in North America. For...
