I don't follow why that makes it a toy that can't be played with. Is it that it's too difficult, or is there something in particular you do with your toys that precludes holding the toy by the shoulder rather than the waist?
And if the hips are so loose the toy falls over with slightest hint of a touch the toy cannot even be posed on the shelf and is a failure.
Like I said, it may help to use lighter limbs for the arms, and heavier limbs for the legs. It may also help to actually pose the figure intelligently when sitting it down, rather than just sort of absent-mindedly dropping it and back-handing it like the I recall the reviewer doing. I mean, for pete's sakes - as I recall, at one point in the video the guy was upset because the figure wouldn't stay standing
after he'd removed a leg.
Further, and this is just me now, if I have to augment the toy in some way to make it work (not including correctly re-configuring miss-assembled parts), said toy is a not going to be a part of my collection
I can understand that, but given one of the primary gimmicks of the Combiner Wars toyline is the mix-and-match design, I don't think swapping the limbs around can be considered "correctly re-configuring miss-assembled parts."
I don't collect turds, not the ones that come out of me, and not the ones that come out of Hasbro.
Well, that was unnecessarily graphic/inappropriate. This is just me now, but I'd prefer it if you eschewed talking about your feces in the future. Thank you.
