Articulation is great as long as it doesn't
cause realism to suffer. I pretty happy with the current articulation.

the only main change thati would do to the current figures is to addthe thigh swivel to all figures and to make all the head like the figure named "Jennings" so that we can get the neck swivel also.

The main things I'd change if I could:

Give 21st Century figures ball shoulders, necks, and ball knees.

Give BBi figures ball necks, knees, hinge elbows, and a wider leg stance.

articulation

Post by tderespino » Mon Aug 29, 2005 7:49 am

Great Thread!!!! good subject,, question,, why do we see so much inconsistancy from hasbro on articulation,, especially in GI joe.

EX. wrist and ancle/foot articulation is 99% not provided in most recent waves.. then you get the Ninja wars set and one figure,, I think is snakeeyes has great articulation, the rest are what I call stiff wrist. Does anyone designing these figures play?? Stiff wrist and ancle figures cannot even hold their weapons in a firing position!

EX. Spytroops most have stiff wrist and ancle except the Nunchuck figure which is great, he can hold and look good using both guns and knives/swords...

EX. Humvee driver Rollbar, great figure,, moden uniform - no stupid molded on grenades and handguns, but his head is too small and he has the stiff wrist and ancles..

THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!

I have had to improve my customizing skills to keep up with my needs.
