Th...I wouldn't say it's Katoki's fault. These things undergo prototyping, and they do have time to solve these issues, bought probably opted not to. As we can see in some of Bandai's releases, they highlight articulation and gimmicks, so I guess it's a matter of priority after the design has come out of prototype.Matanglawinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465832672178611787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683624202656494365.post-34170324595432267732012-08-11T23:17:40.263+08:002012-08-11T23:17:40.263+08:00I think since this is a Ver.Ka kit, we can safely ...I think since this is a Ver.Ka kit, we can safely blame Hajime Katoki for the flaws, since he did design the mech, kit & parts.<br /><br />Honestly, there shouldn't be any reason why the kit's elbow and knee articulation shouldn't be more than 90 degrees and this must have been an oversight on Katoki's part. And those @^%$!& ankles are just plain retarded.<br /><br />I respect Katoki as a mech designer, but as an engineer, I think he still needs improvement. Most of his MGs are great, but the Unicorn and Victory...eh.<br /><br />I'm thinking maybe it's a good thing he didn't completely engineer the new MG Wing EW kits :PCKai Cydekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280810867632591236noreply@blogger.com
