Themselves. Posability isn't bad, it's just I don't look at a figuarts and see mad super-posability. And I hate how some of them have that weird hip joint that drops down, and it seems to be all the ones I'd want to boot. Add to that the, I don't know what to call it, inner torso shoulder joint? While nifty for that extra bit of p'zaz, it makes the arms tough to pose naturally and they always look floating-off-the-body.

But what about when it's not, like the aformentioned hip joint. Aside from looking terrible in anything besides a standing straight poses, it doesn't have a lot of movement, unless you want you rider's knee bending inward. I mean, I get sacrificing aethetics for functionality, but if you're sacrificing aethetics for no added functionality, I don't see the point.

And that's not even talking about varying joint tolerances and actual inaccuracies. (although sometimes siad inaccuracies improve a design, like on Agito who I always felt looked a bit doofy in the show, but the Figuart doesn't)

I'm not saying Figuarts are bad or even not-good, I'm not even saying I don't see the appeal, I was all ready to go get into the line hardcore before I actually got one, but all I hear is people saying how they get "sucked in" and I'm just like "ya I don't see how."
