No worries. I don't think it's odd at all. I used the word functional to describe a component of a statue, not the statue itself. As far as articulating pieces are concerned, plastic is more durable than polystone, so this is where the functional aspect fits in. If this were done in polystone like the Mythos piece, I wouldn't touch that thing at all; it would be too brittle.
If the use of plastic is a trend, it's a welcomed change for me. Remember the first Boba Fett was notoriously PVC, which was a contentious issue for many collectors. If anything, this piece should be considered a significant upgrade for those who place importance in the choice of material.
