I saw "Phicen" and instantly saw in my mind Michael Keaton making kissy-faces in a seductive pose wearing lingerie and the batcowl & cape. I need help.

ANYHOO... it's not a given for the metal skeleton. Phicen/tbleague used plastic first, to limited success. Phicen also use silicon, which has slightly more elasticity. Phicen have TONS of posability. I think your Vader comparison is more apt. I have that, and it's a beautiful sculpt, but very limited posability, because one arm is locked and I don't want to break it, and the rest is hindered by the thick rubber. If Mezco uses silicon and metal, it'll be fantastic. If it's plastic and rubber, it'll still look good, but I'll be far less likely to change poses. Regardless, silicon and rubber shouldn't be posed in extreme poses for any length of time. Both will tear like a cheap "Bend-em" coated-wire toy.
