Second… why can't people just be happy that this made it out? It is a stunning piece, so well done
and with it's size and heft, a little reduced articulation is not the end of the world.
Maybe with the prototype it was able to get the wider leg stance, due to some of the lighting wiring not full installed yet.
I think the reason people are slightly annoyed (me included to a degree) is that the posability of the hips/ legs is a standard thing in literally all figures, and the chance that due to the 'upgrade' to fit the full 43 inside, it is missing from this figure. Also when you are paying $800 plus, your figure should be able to have something more dynamic than a museum pose or slight walking pose...
What do you want Hulkbuster to do? It is a massive suit of heavy armor meant to withstand
a beating (and dish one out) from/to the Hulk. Therefore, the suit has limitations.
He is not going to be dancing the cha-cha anytime soon.
I can see the wider-stance leg thing. But that part was a design choice Hot Toys made.
Their product, they call the shots.
You are paying for all the engineering, parts, tooling, paint work, diecast, LED's and
workmanship in general that went into developing a 2-foot tall (and pretty damn
movie accurate) action figure.
Nailed it right here.
I think its because a lot of collectors are overgrown "kids" complaining about things that they, themselves, cant make.
They don't understand the engineering needed to create one of these things.
I am a hardware/software engineer and I dont even know how to make one of these lmao..

Yeah it kind of sucks that the articulation is limited due to the engineering changes they made but if you think this thing isn't going to be a centerpiece of any collection, you are dead wrong. My anticipation for this monster is at an all time high.
