I was never into poseability, I pose my figures once and they stay that way until I dust them and then they move a bit due to manipulation. But a statue is something that will stay in a pose forever a figure can be posed.
Yea i agree man.
Some of the recent sculpts are comprable to statues as most of the joints are very well hidden. Take the TDK line for example. That is the main reason that made me buy these figures.
However, haters will always be haters, choosing to call these dolls for the sake of it. In fact Robocop which is 0% cloth is more of a collectible than the clothed PF's according to their argument.

Hey look... I think the head sculpts are great. In fact some are quite impressive!

There great little poseable characters and all but that dosen't change the fact that at the end of the day they're just 12" plastic dolls wearing miniature clothing and tiny hats... that cost anywhere between $100.00 - $200.00.

Now a PF with fabric is different than a poseable plastic doll in so many ways I won't go into it, but you get the point.

Do the little 12 inchers look cool? Yes
Are they dolls... Yes

No need to get insulted.

I just feel that some(maybe not you) call these dolls purely with the intent of demeaning the interests of others, and make these comments with no constructive value whatsoever. That's my point.
FYI the Robocop PF is poseable among many other gems.
