Quote - You all are certainly free to express your opinions and I am not hinting otherwise...but if the original model was rigged with the arms at 45 then nothing would have to be "accounted for", you are modeling around the default stance...45 degrees. Because some might have a different opinion doesn't mean they don't want to "learn the tools available", maybe they are thinking outside the box and trying to push development.

Suggestions and new thoughts either fail or prosper, but to try something new shouldn't be lessened becase it's new. imo

If it WAS actually new. Girl was released how many years ago now, 3-5? I would say using the new falloff zones on a standard figure would actually be more "new experimentation" then revisiting something that many pointed out as a technique which created more problems then it solved.

Or creating new unique grouping to enhance posability. No one for instance has ever released a figure with dual palm groups so hands could be curled, as in real life.

 

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
