The torso will be made of hollow vinyl and strung together very much like a MEGO figure, allowing for an incredible range of motion and pose-ability, that you don't see a lot these days in most action figures. It's bringing back a little of that 70's magic and mixing it with a level of sculptural detail that was rarely seen in that era. In my opinion, this is truly the best of both worlds. It also prevents a lot of the breakage you see in the jointed areas of some figure lines out there, that basically make them more like statues instead of a poseable figure. The range of motion and articulation in these figures easily equals or surpasses a lot of what's being done nowadays, and it's achieved with less joints."

Sandy Collora's a really interesting filmmaker, but it's clear he knows nothing about toys.

Yea, I saw that on the kickstarter last night. It's evident that there is no wrist articulation of any kind, and that articulation will be rather limited in most regards, even the head. But I plan on keeping mine carded anyhow. I surmised that this was probably some sort of line that the manufacturers gave Collora or that he actually believes that statement to be true. And if they end up going the vinyl band route, who knows how long these figures will stay together before the band breaks. I'm still in, I like the short and the figures (hoping the cardback looks cool) and hope that if this is successful more people will try and produce figures like this through Kickstarter.
