Well I didn't have to boil it. Just hot water from the tap. But at this point I've had to put every Hasbro and Mcfarlane product in a warm bath because all these figures have some locked up plastic joints.

So yeah some hot water is very much an acceptable solution then having no articulation and having jagged looking joints because the designer didn't take articulation into account when designing the knees and elbows.

It's super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Well the more complex character designs are 10 bucks more. But the basic figs are $22. If you're trying to argue GI Joe has far more characters are various designs. Hey you are very correct. Makes army building pretty easy at the moment. That doesn't mean it's the better toy from an articulation standpoint which is what the conversation is about.
