First GREEDO, then HAMMY...now GAMMY by Friday...

YODA is not far behind either, due by end of month.

That's a lot of Green-Brown creatures.

What about the ones in the toilet?

Wrong, there is a reason. It costs more to make a unique bodied figure, and cost even more if you add in the articulation. Not saying it couldn't be done, but they chose not to... and if you look at other figures like this its hit and miss as to whether or not you get the same level of articulation or less.

In this case they went with less... but still more usable articulation than they had to; be happy we have ball joints instead of just cut joints.

I still don't buy the argument that engineering a unique body is such a huge expense. Yeah, it's more expensive than just slapping an outfit on a standard 1/6 scale body, but go to Toys R Us and look at any of the toys on the shelves and you'll find nothing but unique full-body sculpts, and almost all of them have more articulation than this. Oh, and they sell for $10-$20 apiece (of course they're smaller than this, but still).

Anyway, they've already gone to the time and expense of sculpting the body, so adding some joints to the knees would have been trivial from a cost point of view. I think it was probably an artistic decision -- they decided that most people would just have their figures standing around anyway, so it would be better to avoid having visible articulation in the knees.

Or maybe the combination of ball joints in the hips and ankles gives a better range of motion than I'm expecting, but I kind of doubt it.

Well I can see your argument about the articulation but theres an easy solution , just don't buy it .

So can you do anything with the legs aside from having him stand straight up?

 

[Glennfett]

his legs cant bend at the thighs.
only the ankles are articulated.
