I tried talking myself with Ultimate Toy Source and they said they wanted the "figures" to be looking good rather than articulated, but apparently they can hide the articulation in fulgore and spinal it looks like, but not the rest. Should have just made them statues in larger scale cause it's a rip off and many in the KI community think they are cool, but for the pricing for a "figure" with no articulation a lot of people are mad on both the forums etc with more negatives than positives from what I've seen. Ultimate Toy Source gave free figures to the big people in the fighting game community such as Maximillain Dood to promote it and only post that they're selling "fast" to make more people purchase them but most people have gave it an easy pass because of the price and lack of articulation.

Unfortunately, that type of inconsistency in approach to articulation isn't going to sit too well with toy folks. The gaming crowd may look past it I guess. But having something at 6" scale and calling it a "figure" brings a certain expectation from toy fans.
