It's not some Hot Toys figure I mean, it's a Mario figure with poseability. Something you don't get often outside of the classic 'five joint' figures of the 80s and early 90s.

How dare a figure based upon a design with no neck be limited there.

As someone who can be very critical at times, that's just silly. I think when you review a figure you have to review it within context. How well does it work within the confines of the design? Are breaks in the design fair trade offs? Does the figure at the very least do most/everything you see the character perform? Is the price fair for what you receive?

This is like buying a Godzilla and then complaining that it can't perform a Rider kick. If it can, awesome, if not, then it isn't a loss.
