I'm wondering why the shame on the bendy hands, as well, I thought that might actually be a huge selling point... is there typically a problem with 'bendy hands'? I was thinking about buying a few of these action figure bodies from her instead of the Art S. Buck ones, but maybe I should hold off...?
From Acorn's experience with bendy hands, hes found that they don't have the right joints, and bend too cartoonish. He wants the joints in the hands, i.e. knuckles to be angular instead of rounded like in bendy hands.
Bendy hands do suck. While they give you the increased posing options... typically they don't look very natural in any pose and it can be near impossible to get them to properly hold an accessory.
I still think Sideshow has some of the best handsculpts around.
