ITT; characters who designs are impossible to properly pull off as toys
Pic Related. Look at NECA's figures with their huge wings taking up space and making it impossible to display the entire clan together.

They are made of slightly softer plastic and are fixed to his arms and the flanks of his torso, but there's is another set of arms molded to the wings that plug into his back. They don't fold up. They just kind of curl. I was not overly impressed with how they did it.
The OAFE review kind of shows what the deal is.

Cloth for the wing membrane might have worked, but it would look kinda crap and then you'd miss out on the realistic leather texture they gave his wings. Maybe interchangeable wings for spread and closed like they did with the rest of the Goyles, but the way they are attached to his arms complicates things. Maybe if they did the closable wings with thin vinyl like the old vintage Star Wars capes or maybe rubber, but once again, the texture wouldn't match the rest of the line.

I didn't. I had to order him from BBTS though because I never saw him anywhere, and I only got him when they restocked after almost a year. I thought it was going to be an instance of one of those preorders they never end up fulfilling, but the clan is complete.
I'm scared to pose him because I've seen a few people break the bicep swivel, and he's kind of pricey on the secondary market now.

This specific One Tail form of Naruto. Best you can do is have a red aura in the background like the Anime Heroes figure. I don't think I've even seen a statue do it justice.

NECA went for their own look but the cartoon designs are very much translatable to figure form. The wings were the only mistake they should have done resting wings with the spread wings being an option pack later on or something included with variants.

Not characters but two biological features that i have never seen a toy do properly:
1: The way whale mouths extend and retract when they open and close it
2: The way pterosaur wings folded backwards instead of sideways like all toys do it

I'm more wondering if it is even possible. All toys i've seen do it like this. I guess it's a case of something being impossible to replicate with non-organic matter

How I would make him work
>Have him come with a variety of parts
>A pair of open hands, a pair of closed fists, his hair and three helicopter hairs (remember this), and miscellaneous accessories.
>He comes with a stand.
>One prop can be those "fwoosh" things you attach one of the fists to look like his punch is strong and fast; the effect connects to the stand solving at least one "floating hand" issue.
>The other hand can achieve the same effect or it can be connected with the shock rocket or a plumb which connects it to the stand.
>Plumb can either be placed under his torso to give him the appearance of sitting or by one clear thin pole.
>Head can be placed on another thin clear stick.
>If that looks too ugly, you can use one of the two helicopter hairs that have a slit through them so that they can connect to the "whoosh" prop that goes on the fists.
