**Edit** found the video presentation of Ultra. Sounds like he says "added 5-points of articulation" and then mentions added articulation in the shoulders, hands, thighs, ankles, and neck. So this makes more sense now. Really looking forward to this line of figures! Oh, and I don't know if it's been mentioned, but with the Ultra figures, they mention a "cyclops" (if I hear them correctly) character. And so, Marauder's has their own "cyclops" style helmet that they currently call the "fancy" helmet, which is a Mandalorian-modern warfare looking helmet. Sure to inspire the Star Wars-military enthusiast. Jason

More articulation? Do you think figures can be over-articulated? If so, at what point?

As long as the articulation doesn't take away from the sculpt then I'm all for some added articulation. I think the retro Stalker hides the thigh articulation pretty well. I do think you can go overboard like with finger articulation (like some Spidey action figures) and such. Jason |

So, the added articulation sounds like, to me, (1) dumbbell neck like BFS (2) butterfly shoulders (like some 6" figures (3) ball joint/swivel hands (4) thigh swivel and (5) rocker-swivel ankles (like new retro Stalker).

Here are some notes I made.
Ultra - This fall - current realistic looking military figures Wrath - this fall, catch all for accessories, males w shorts and tank tops or bare chest. HALO (high altitude low open) gear. Crazy futuristic looking cobra command helmet w electroplated face mask as well. Cyborg arms which can accept weapons from exo suits w adapters. Aqua - fall 2022 Covert ops - Fall 2022 - female, sleek legs w boot. And a Laura Croft type body, tank top and shorts. Astro - Astronaut, looks like a slimmer 80s astronaut w a smaller boxy jet pack Vietnam - Fall 2022 I really want to finish my Lara Croft figures, but I'm not sure I will be buying any 3.75" stuff in 15+ months.

Fall 2022 for female legs with shorts!? Wow. Just wow. Why on Earth would the male with short bodies come out a full year before the women? That's just silly.
