You don't have a toy that can reach across its waist or behind its back?

There are several transformers, official or otherwise that can do this, it's not as impossible of a feature than you'd think.

Lots of figuarts and Transformers can, though most can't draw swords from their sheathes due to the lengths involved.

What the hell is a "ready to use katana" pose look like? That could mean anything.

Not that anon, but I think they mean with the katana slightly out, as if about to slash.

No such thing. Die-cast is unnecessarily heavy and all it does is put strain on joints.

Also, diecast joints are garbage. They ALWAYS get worn because soft metal on soft metal is shit as it is but it's even worse when they can't even get their tolerances right.

The proper way to do durable articulated joints is polished metal on constrained nylon. It'll be much tighter, won't get loose (for decades at least), and it'll be smooth as hell.

I feel sorry for kids who were born after the eighties. Between the shitty toys and the brain cancer, they really missed out.

As someone who was able to fully enjoy 1980s toys by being old enough to have remembered the 80s all the way through, 1980s toys (and cartoons) are shit compared to what we got later.

Poor dear. You weren't alive during the eighties. That's just the brain cancer talking.

Diecast in the feet or shins you fucking numbskull, it keeps the figure planted and stable, and if the figure has strong enough ratchet joints in its legs, kicking poses or the like won't be a problem

Not him, but it's void when it also makes up the ankle joint as well (which is 99% of the time).

Unless the diecast is inside the shins or feet, it's still ugly and would be better just to stick in lead shot in there instead.

I look forward to what Mezco is doing with their armored Batman and using quality metal instead of diecast shit. hopefully the paint isn't complete crap and thick like what they use on all diecast.

Don't even play that. He didn't remotely imply that brain cancer was a good thing. He did the opposite.

And this is proof that he's right. Sorry about your diagnosis, dude.
