During the early Hasbro days, they gave a lot of figures ankle articulation by putting a forward-to-back hinge on top of the foot, and a peg on top to attach into the shin, which gave no ankle pivot.

Sorry if my explanations are insufficient, I have no better way to describe the different types of ankle articulation.

Just looked at my toybiz magneto and and he had full ankle articulation.
