First off I have trouble understanding that argument and with all due respect or possibility because I'm misunderstanding you. You state that you dislike rubber joints "especially for a robot" character. Is that because your brain is telling you a robot should be metal and rubber doesn't fit into that equation? How is it your willing to accept the plastic then? I think a realistic robot in today's world would in fact be made mostly of plastic and rubber and less metal. Not trying to start an argument. If you had just said I dislike the rubber joints because of fears of future deterioration or possible tearing, and or fold marks after long term posing. I could accept that. Just my 2 cents. Carry on fellas. Cheers.
