Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!
I'm not sure what someone who is looking at 12'' body with a certain level of poseability is expecting, honestly. The human body has certain design limitations (2 arms, 2 legs, one head, one torso) and as I understood it BCS took quite a bit of time and effort to make a body that suited their needs just so, probably looking at the best of what was out there and making adjustments.
So, yes, calling it a knock-off seems a bit silly to me. It's not like it wouldn't have been cheaper for them to just use a ready-made body if that's what they wanted to do. Going through the expense of tooling a new body (not cheap) was obviously motivated by wanting to do something better.
