: Still though, I'm not going to miss McFarlane's figures. While their sculpted
: detail is impressive, the articulation has gotten worse with every series.
: I picked up the Kelly figure a few weeks back to do a re-paint on it, and
: the legs don't move. I mean, the hips are articulated, but they can barely
: move more than a couple degrees in any direction.

: I'm cautiously hopeful about the Mattel figures. From what little I've seen,
: it looks like the hips and knees both use double-jointing, which should
: seriously improve the leg articulation. I hope that the shoulders and
: elbows are similar.

: They definitely look more like toys than the McFarlane figures, but I don't
: mind that as long as they're well-articulated (I tend to prioritize the
: "action" part of "action figure"). If the articulation
: is as good as I hope it is, I'll have to buy a couple just for the
: articulated bodysuit component. I love doing custom jobs.

I just want badass looking figures that can stand up on their own without any support piece. I don't care about the "Action" part but that's just me
