Sorry to here about this! I think I speak for all the frequent .mecha
readers too. I was really eager to see this bad boy walk around! But you do
what you have to do to meet your artistic vision. I understand some
sacrifices must be made. On an up note, the self posing theory sounds very
promising! Maybe instead of walking, the Jama can do a little dance like
those stupid Santa toys that shimmy and shake his rump to 'Rockin' Around
the Christmas Tree.' That would be hillarious!
