Won't pretend I know their thought process, but if I had to guess, probably because they wouldn't have done the figure if it wasn't an exclusive. Like Darvold, it was basically just a repaint of another figure (in this case, a couple different figures mashed up, but it was still made with nothing but existing parts). They haven't done many figs outside their main waves that weren't exclusives or basics.

I think it's a bit different with Boss Fight. They need to give exclusives to keep the web stores interested and help promote these lines and. They're in a much weaker position than a big company with a well-known license. Heck, even for all companies, the exclusives tend to be the best figures in the lines nowadays. No store is willing to accept an obvious dud as an exclusive anymore.

That as well, and I'm wondering about the significance of this exclusive being with BBTS instead of smaller toy shops like Roma and Kokomo. I'm thinking it's a very good thing that the largest indie (American) toy web-retailer wanted a BFS exclusive. It means BBTS thinks the line is a good seller, imho.

He may be able to get his feet in the stirrups. Those Aussie tack kits don't work that well if you are trying to get the feet in the stirrups.

I’m starting to wonder if my opinion is correct. You guys feel free to try to change my mind. My opinion on the rocker ankles is that they take away some articulation and posing options and don’t really add enough to warrant doing that. The rockers require the feet to always be straight ahead and I’m under the impression people don’t naturally stand that way. The toes usually point slightly out. The rockers allow the feet to be flat when the legs are spread but if the knees are bent also the feet are flat already. I could see the rocker would be useful when the knees are straight and the legs spread like for a van damme split. If you guys find them useful in some other way, I’d dig seeing some pics. Thanks.
