New Force Unleashed Starkiller Figure
 

The '70s called, they want their hip articulation back.

definitely buying this set love the force unleashed and cant wait for 2 to come out!!

yeah no crap really wish they would upgrade star wars to ball joint hips i would proly start buying them again

That was something I wanted to, until I bought some figures with that articulation from the Star Wars line. Figures like ROTS 2008 Obi Wan and Anakin are okay because they basically have universal hip rotation, a t crotch but legs that act like ball joints.

However on figures like Commander Gree, the new Commander Cody, and others, the articulation is ugly. Basically the hips are inserted at an angle, so when you have them seated, the inside of their thighs ends up facing UPWARDS. It ruins the look. Same goes for them having their legs raised in any position, whether in running poses or just posing the legs with them swiveled forward in any case.

Pretty disappointing. Now if the legs were like that of the 25th anniversary G.I. Joes, that would be cool.

If they were like Microman, it'd be even better!

Ep3 Obi-Wan is pretty cool, except for his inability to properly hold the saber. As a general rule, Star Wars figures have loads of issues problems: t-crotches, holsters that don't hold their gear, cut elbows (WTF?), hands that don't hold their weapons, swivel shoulders without friction, removable helmets that don't stay on properly, etc. It's rare that I buy a Star Wars figure, rarer that I'm actually satisfied by it.

If they were like Microman, it'd be even better!

And they'd be $20 a pop!

I'd rather pay $20 for a great Vader figure once than $10 each time they make a new one that's slightly better...

My Microman comment was just supposed to be playful wishful exaggeration.:D
