Kind of a bait-and-switch thing here. Todd fucks up again.

I disagree. When this first went up there was no indication that the torso had articulation. Heck most thought it was a typical five POA McFarlane figure like the original. When he first showed the chest articulation he said he wasn't sure he was going to keep it or not. This was during the campaign and those who absolutely didnt want a solid torso could have bailed.

"We were practising trying to see whether we could do what is a soft chest so that we could get a bend in it. We're trying to figure out whether that's going to work if it doesn't this is just going to be all solid. So we haven't decided that yet."

Some people requested that he keep it and many we're worried that the soft plastic would degrade and asked to leave it solid.

Similarily people had issues with the pre-posed posture and Todd just stood firm and said it's staying that way. People had a choice to leave then and there and i'm sure had it been neutral he would have had more backers but in the end he did it the way he wanted to and as far as i see it those who stuck around should have been well aware this would be the way it would stay.

In the end the amount of these figures ever made will be fixed. Assuming of course he doesn't make variants which he may well do. Either way there are plenty of people who missed out and i'm sure those who are dissapointed with their pledge can more than make their money back once the figures arrive.

As an FYI, i wanted a neutral pose and a soft torso. I'm not worried by the plastic at all. But i also stuck with the campaign knowing that fixed pose was a done deal and that a soft plastic ab crunch was a maybe.
