Ahh, poo. Guess I'll have to adjust to it to even get into Gaim. Still not convinced, but see the point.

The new ones have pegs that are almost as thin as 0.9mm pencil lead. That would be fine itself if they slid in and out smoothly like what they are trying to emulate, Figma wrists. But they don't. They stick in the joint, and are worse than the original ones, because I guarantee if someone already hasn't done it, there will be many people yanking the wrists out just as roughly as they do with the original style, and tearing the pegs out of the hands.

If you want to make a case that the Figma-style hands go in a 90 degree angle better, that's fine, but they are definitely not less fragile.

See? The hell with that, Bandai, keep the standard wrist pegs!
