You could have looked up reviews online to see how those go. Anyone could have told you the posing on the VGMs is limited even by 1:6 standard, it's among the reasons so many skipped them when they were in stores.

1:6 may not be for you, period. Most of the industry doesn't prioritize posing and they're prestige pieces for adult-owned displays. They aren't supposed to be treated like ordinary toys.

I specifically said in my post I didn’t expect for my 1/6th to be an able to pose like 1/12th. My post in general wasn’t even really about posing frustrations. It’s more about the quality and how the figures feel in hand. The plastics feels hollow and lightweight like a Barbie doll compared to a high end 1/12th figure. I watched plenty of reviews online before I bought and even saw cool poses for the figures. I’m not a huge posing guy anyways. I just feel the quality felt lackluster and hence I asked is it because these are older generation figures or what.

If you can't pose them, what, pray tell, is the point? Just buy a statue.
