Ball jointed ankle? No thanks, modern ankle rockers are the best, more durable and less likely to get loose.There are ankle rockers just the outdated maybe three to four years ago styled rockers. Kind of like the original Masters of the Universe styled ankles, plenty of excellent tilting forward and downward movement but horrible side movement and stability for balance.
I will add that it can balance quite well however you kind of have to bend the knee and rotate the boot a little. It's just an a extra tedious issue that shouldn't be with such a well designed figure.
Ball joints or modern day rockers would easily fixed this IMO. But this design is nowhere near the flexibility the current SW Black or ML have. This is puzzling why Mezco got so sloppy. This figure is 6" perfection with this one flaw
Even a Neca styled ankle joint or even a screw infused ball would make this special.
I don't think this was intentional, I'm thinking with the weight of the leg articulation they might had to cut corners. There's always room for improvement though and I have no doubt that if they truly want to corner the 6" articulation market as Pierre stated then they would fix this minor issue in future releases.
My strong advice is for Mezco to somehow look at the design that SSC has done with the current Batman and Superman releases in terms of ball jointed ankle articulation
I haven't got mines yet but from what I've seen, Batman easily has better articulation than the Black Series and ML, from the BS I only have Boba and he's suuuuuper restricted, and I have a ton of Marvel legends and none of them that are nearly as bulky as this Batman, like Sentry or Thor have anywhere near the rage of motion this has, in fact, the SHF Broly is also limited in comparison.
If this figure had modern ankle rockers, it would be even more perfect, so we need to tweet them about it so they hear us!
