It seems wrong, but it is a form of ball joint. It is easier to see on a figure like Hawkgirl. Heat her up with a hair dryer and then work her hips through a full range of motion.

The inside of the hip is indeed attached by a ball joint. The barbell inside the pelvis has two ball ends (one for each hip) and joins both hips through the pelvis.

I think we are all thinking of the junction at the outside of the hip, which is a restricted-range pinned hinge.
