I agree. Many folks have turned 1/6 figures into 1/6 statues with minor articulation (mostly in the custom world) for the sake of realism at the cost of articulation. Seamless heads, necks and chests are a trend right now that I truly dislike. The point of these
figures is to be able to pose them. But, I guess some folks really want high end 1/6 statues (I assume for space reason) instead of getting the larger format statues. Since no company is really making any (aside from a few from Queen), they take to what's currently available to turn into statues basically. The ironic thing is, when you think about the cost some incur in the pursuit of these 1/6 statues, they more than likely could've bought a larger statue. But, the heart wants what the heart wants I guess
