However, the angles of insertion and type of hinge used represents "Greek" to me since I've never taken one of these things apart. I'll take a closer look to see what you've shared.

Let me try to explain better.

Take a Bullseye style figure and put him standing up. Draw an imaginary line vertically from the top of his pelvis to the bottom, just left of his "penis" area. Now, draw an identical line on the other side just to the right of the penis area. So you have 2 parallel lines in front of his pelvis with the center of the pelvis between them.

Now, draw another line, starting on the outside of the dual line on the left, from the inside of the hollows where the hip-spheres sit in the pelvis, going downward and 45-degrees diagonally down and away from him, about 1 inch. Do the same with the right side.

See the angle? That is how the hip-sphere-posts are set in the holes in the pelvis of Bullseye.

Now, starting inside the hollows for the hip spheres, draw imaginary 1 inch lines from the vertical lines outward away from the figure, the same as before, except this time, don't draw them at 45-degrees downward, draw them perfectly horizontal so that they are 90-degrees in relation to the vertical lines. That is how the GOOD articulation is for figures with spherical hips. That is why the hips in Bullseye and like 100 other figures in ML suck compared to the hips in 100 other different figures with 90-degree hips.

Also, I forgot that I hate the way the Bullseye neck leans forward so much. So I guess what's I'm looking for is more like the full Pizza Spidey mold but with a broader chest, similar to Bullseye. I should have restated that earlier...
