Personally if you can do it for a decent price, I'd like to see Fury Files style arm joints with the swivel point on the upper bicep instead of at the middle of the arm. Also if you feel like making the arms more awesome it'd be great if you could mod the arm to be to double jointed since the swivel wouldn't be at the middle of the arm anymore :P .Now as if that wasn't enough extra articulation I'd want the hands to be double ball jointed. I'd pay around 3 to 4 bucks a set with the mods maybe even more.
What I'm saying is some Fury Files style arms would be awesome sauce.

I would grab a boat load! Bond customs, Burn Notice customs, Hawk in uniform customs, hitman customs, tomax xamot customs, the list could go forever. You forgot one option that I want more than any of that stuff, tux dress shirt with bow tie.

I know not what Fury Files is. I also don't think the arms would in fact have the same artiticulation as the current Joes if the sculpter I've been talking to does this. I'm not sure just how his articulation would work but he says it's friendlier to paint, gives equal or better articulation than current Joes, & is compatible with Joe torsos. I didn't ask if they'd work with Joe hands.
I do agree Joe hands need improvement at the joint. This is in fact their weakest point. Current SW clone wrists would make me happy. as you can see in the Fury Files figure, the arm rotates at the upper bicep which alone isn't that great, but considering that there's only one point of articulation at one point you would be able to modify the elbow to be double jointed and allow for a further range of motion allowing for much nicer posability hope this put some interesting ideas into your head

Ah. Marvel Universe. The only one I have is Iron Man & he's got Joe articulation in the arms so I have no real point of reference.
I also don't see how to disguise a bicep joint on the arms in this poll. Wouldn't a double joint elbow result in a sunken elbow look when bent all the way in & an unsightly spot at the inside of the joint when fully straightened? I'd have to see it in person but it doesn't sound like it would appeal to me. Seems like the better the articulation, the more unsightly the joint tends to get & vice versa. I need to get a Revoltech fig some day & see how they do their joints. In the pictures they look like they have good range & disguise the joint well too.

Good news guys & gals! This poll sounds like it's made a positive impression with the sculptor. More details to follow as I get them.
