I wonder why one would vote no. It's not like it's taking away from the look of the figure. IMO it really takes away from the all around looks of the figure. If you want to collect RAH I'm perfectly ok with that but let the new Joe line have its own appeal. Point #2 its so easy to take an exacto knife and 2 minutes of work to make them sit right if you wish to "Fix" this issue.

GI Joe is the grand daddy of action figures, starting back in 64 with 21 points of articulation. I will always take articulation, and poseability, over looks.
As a matter of fact the only other additional articulation that I can think of that Hasbro might cram into these little guys would be ball joint wrists and double joint swivel elbows. The ball joint hands would also be cool with different extra hands posed like fist or kung fu grip. Last edited by ltfalcon; 11-28-2007 at 11:49 PM.. |

I voted No, I think it makes the figures (well, at least Stalker) look pretty terrible and detracts from the looks of the figure

Point #2 its so easy to take an exacto knife and 2 minutes of work to make them sit right if you wish to "Fix" this issue. That said, Hasbro addressed the issue of making the figures fit into [old] vehicles the quickest [not best] way they knew how. The fact that only Stalker got this treatment suggests to me that they're testing the waters for fan feedback before making a permanent change to the line. Still, knowing that three vehicles [and possibly more] are on the way, the issue needed to be addressed. This is an unfortunate sidestep to the goal, however.

Sure, it could be better. But if I have to pick, I'd take this over the inability to sit anyday.
NOW... if we're gonna talk about ugly articulation joints, the winner should be the one under their chests. It may work on characters like a Clone Trooper (because the shape of their chest armors can conceal it), or even on characters whose torso is quite plain (like SE, Stalker, etc), but I think it looks ugly on figures like the Crimson Guard or those with shirts like Duke and Flint, or Flash, etc. Want more ugliness? Look at the heads from the sides. In other words... this crotch fix was and is a no-brainer. I think there are much more important issues at hand. And I still don't see how the double knee joint is better than a ball joint. Ball-jointed knees allow much more "cinematic" posing on the legs. Oh well.

I voted yes but I really don't care because I'm not going to buy the new ones because the old ones were already hard to find so it's to late and to little.

That is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. For one thing, there is no such thing as an "articulated statue". Two: GIJoe is a TOY line not a series of articulated statues. Three: With all the OTHER problems some of these toys have with aesthetics (thin necks, gimpy hands, arms too short, legs too long, etc.), none of them should ever be considered "works of art". |
