Basically as much as you can possibly fit on the figure LOL.
Rocker ankles are an absolute requirement and a lot of the 3 75 stuff seems to lack this. Hell many of them lack wrist articulation outside of a swivel. Thats utter garbage in both cases.
Double jointed knees and elbows aren't required if the single joints have enough range of motion to properly kneel on the knees and shoulder a rifle at the elbows. Meaning MORE than 90 degrees of motion. Its more than possible to have that. But its just not as consistent in comparison to double joints.
The swivel T hips do look better and work great for certain poses. But overall they're just inferior for action poses and natural motion on every level outside of having a figure sit-down lol.
A ball jointed neck is definitely the bare minimum there. But I've been spoiled by double jointed dumbell necks and I don't want to go back.
And butterfly shoulders also aid so much in a good shooting or sword pose that figures without them feel outdated and vastly inferior in most cases.
A lot of figures these days seem to be trading bicep swivel for elbow swivel though and I'm not a fan. Bicep swivel seems to make a bigger difference in posing
