Yeah, it's the same with Figma. The figures are great, if you can shift your focus away from the ball joints. I notice the same thing with Hot Toys, where joints are not concealed by costume elements.

Some Asian designers are finally experimenting with figure bodies that consist of a hard endoskeleton wrapped in flesh-colored silicon, having the potential to eliminate most visible joints, for high-end figures at least.

I look forward to it. We're seeing so many Vaders from different designers, all good in various ways. Maybe this will be The One.
