Name me an example of an action figure where you said..."now that's just wayyyy too much detail."

^ That's supposed to be Batman.

To me, "overdesigned" is when there are too many shapes, colors, or details in a design competing with each other, so there is a lack of overarching "broad" characteristic recognizable details or sillhouette that you can recognize at a glance. Things can have a lot of detail without drowning out the broad strokes of the design, and thus can pass the "squint test", and then there's things like the above, where it's just a bunch of angles fighting for the viewer's attention.
