Hear, hear! Seriously, the same guys that come in here to drop their snarky anti-5POA comments, need to move on already. We get it, you don't like them. Sheesh!

With the new mouth articulation, it should be fairly easy nowMaking the price of an ARMOR UP™ figure even harder to swallow...

Holy **** we're old.
Unless you actually play with your figures more points of articulation doesnt make a figure better, in fact i think they can lose their charm with it, and it makes the figure look less realist than more realistic to look at.Wait. They're going to articulate his face but not his elbows or knees?!? Is there nothing you people won't buy?
I'd say it depends on the figure, but yeah these days my figures usually just stand around.Unless you actually play with your figures more points of articulation doesnt make a figure better, in fact i think they can lose their charm with it, and it makes the figure look less realist than more realistic to look at.
Articulation is very overrated imo.
cheers
yeah, totally agree.Unless you actually play with your figures more points of articulation doesnt make a figure better, in fact i think they can lose their charm with it, and it makes the figure look less realist than more realistic to look at.

Well, I think that's pretty much crazy talk there. Figures should be able to replicate real life poses from the movies. 5POA can stand at attention pretty well, but that's about it really. (So if you want to pad out your Emperor's Visit or Medal Ceremony diorama with 5POA, that works!) Other than that...Thank you. I've been saying the same damn thing. Super articulation does ruin the look appearance of a figure most of the time.
I still think swivel articulation was just fine. Look at the Saga Collection. Most figures looked just fine such as the death star gunner and .other figures. Even the Saga Collection Carkoon sarlaac battle/post carbonate Han figure was perfect.
I'm pretty sure you just made the case that a TFA Ackbar with 5POA works just fine...:whistling:Well, I think that's pretty much crazy talk there.

He would need at least swivels to stand with his hands behind his back like he does in the movie. ROTJ Ackbar needs to be able to sit in his chair.I'm pretty sure you just made the case that a TFA Ackbar with 5POA works just fine...:whistling:
I'll agree with that. It seems that the biggest complaint about SA, is Hasbro's inept to utilize it in the best fashion. There is no need for BH hips, at all. One POA cost saved. Also, no real need for BH torso joints wither. Swivel waist are just fine with me. Another high cost saved. BH wrists never seem to work either, or at least 60% of the time they don't. They're just too inconsistent too. Overboard when it isn't needed, then not enough when it is.It would be nice if they could find a happy medium with articulation but not going overboard into the realm of $13 a pop for diaper crotch and cankles. That said, I'll take less articulation for the better sculpt and aforementioned clean lines.
I just hope we don't get AOTC style action features. Those were annoying.
If they do, it'll make it easier for me to skip. I'm planning on skipping it anyway...but I think I said the same thing about TFA line and here I am.That's my fear for the Rogue One line.
I think the days of the AOTC / ROTS action features are gone. I think Hasbro will continue on the 5POA versions of toys for years to come. I can't see them reverting back again. 5POA seems to be the new staple for Hasbro since Iron Man 3.
toy aisle. I swished my cape and left the toy aisle."Now see here, unlike you people, I play with the SOPHISTICATED children's toys!"
**sniffs, turns, swishes cape, exits room with nose in the air**

Good thing Rey doesn't have mouth articulation.Let's see, what did ackbar do in the movie. Stand around and talk if memory serves me correctly. What can this figure do...Stand around and "talk." Yeah perfectly acceptable articulation for the character. I'll reserve paying $13 for figures that had more dynamic functions in the movie. Like Rey for instance. I do not need elbows and knees on my ackbar.
That's what I said about my Wuher figure in 1973.Very cool modern figure.
No Mary Sue. I'm just starting.*yawn* are you done yet?
Doesn't loving everything?Doesn't hating everything get boring?
Gotta admit this is one of the better 5POA figs. I am tempted.Hear, hear! Seriously, the same guys that come in here to drop their snarky anti-5POA comments, need to move on already. We get it, you don't like them. Sheesh!
