Ahh I see... and yes, there's 2 reasons to avoid for now.

First, while the plastic is very strong, a certain amount of strength is also required to assemble some of the joints and as Optimus said, I'd like to keep it as sturdy and easy to assemble as possible without visible pegs etc. Adding more joints would lead to smaller pieces and some could actually break probably. Plus the sturdier the pieces, the easier it is to print smaller scales.

The second reason is that I don't really like the ML articulation. Especially on female characters, it makes the joint areas look very ugly, making the whole figure look rather bad.
I looked at Square Enix Play Arts in the past which always manage a good compromise with knee joints especially, and I will keep adding more articulation in the future when I have some time but for now, what I have will do


Aaaand if nobody minds, a shameless shapeways plug, as I've added a collection of 6 and 7 inch melee weapons (swords and axes) to the shop, plus a beefier 7 inch version of some of them with 4mm grips to work on MOTU figures. Someone asked for the Atlantean sword from the Schwarzenegger Conan movies, so I made that one too.

Since the swords are small, they can also be 3d printed in metals... steel, silver, brass with different finishes. Steel is the cheapest but can't carry much detail, whereas the more expensive metals will have a nice amount of detail: Stranger than Fiction by Strangefate on Shapeways
