I'm not talking about accessories: Figuarts are already famous for tiny, easily-lost accessories, and that's a reason why many of us love them. I'm talking about the kneepads, elbow details, and in the case of Kamen Rider Mach, his antennae.
Unlike Lock Seeds, swappable belts, and similar, I can't think of any reason why these parts need to be removable. I don't get any display advantage from removing the elbow details on Drive. The reason I'm even bringing this up is that some of them fall out really easily. I'm actually a little shocked that I still have both of Drive's elbow details.
Is this just a cost-cutting measure for Bandai to avoid molding unique elbows? Is there some benefit we're getting from this that I'm just not seeing? The closest I can get is Mach's antennae, since I suppose an impact that could snap one of them is more likely to just dislodge it.
Anyone else find this to be an irritation? Should I just calm down?
I think it could be cost when it comes to elbow and kneepads. I've never had too many problems, but I think if it ever became an issue for me, I'd either use floor polish to tighten the connection or I would just super glue it in place. I can't think of any reasons for stability or the like, however, as those likely wouldn't break anywhere near as easily as antennae would.
