So, I've heard that the Anakin from the B'Omarr Monastery Assault HAS ball-hinged knees and ankles, and has a cloth skirt. Damn. Oh well, I've held of getting Anakin so far so I'll get that two-pack, but still. Grrr.

A current rumor is that the core cast of characters that lack articulation so far, will be getting more articulation next year. In a way, I can see how Hasbro catered to kids and collectors/older fans by spreading articulation out. See with the main characters, like the jedis, Hasbro can still sell a lot of them on account of kids alone, most kids will not care much for losing a few important points of articulation for the sake of a gimmick, most won't start craving articulation until they grow older, like I did. At the same time, Hasbro knows collectors love clones, so each major clone commander, and just about every clone released so far in the line, is fully articulated.

As for me, I'm waiting it out til next year to see if the jedis get more articulation. The B'Omarr monastery pack has the fully articulated Anakin I want, but truthfully, that's the main part of the set I want, the STAPs and battle droid aren't the reasons I would be buying that set. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Grevious and the jedis all fully articulated in the line eventually, so I'm going to be patient and see what is announced.
