Wow that sounds pretty cool for him to have all that stuff, still no extra hip joints though eh?
While I like the fact that ball jointed legs were added to some Star Wars figures this year, such as Commander Gree, Clone Knight Obi Wan, ROTS Obi & Ani, I found that they really don't add that much more articulation to some of the figures, it all depends on how it's done. If it were added, cool, if not, that's still fine so long as the legs still have hip, and ball knee/ankles. I wish the thighs would not have to be swiveled to a weird angle as a result of moving the ball jointed hips/legs forward. It doesn't look natural, and this is a result of the ball jointed hip peg being inserted at a 45 degree angle on the body. It isn't as bad on ROTS Obi Ani, possibly because they actually have the peg inserted at a 90 degree angle, like a normal, fully articulated t-crotch. However on Gree and Obi Knight it is definitely noticeable. So if it is like the t crotch found on the 4H's/Mattel DCUC figures, that is great, ball jointed hips inserted at an angle are actually a common complaint for Marvel Legends figures too(the ones w/out thigh swivel).
