I hate the Elite Ankles. They are either stuck, or too loose. I've never had an Elite ankle that could move without being loose. So I just glue them all. I'd rather have it be stuck than loose and floppy and make the figure unable to stand. I wish they would just give Elites the Basic boots. Nothing is really gained by the SLIGHT side to side pivot. The Elite ankles also are ugly because there is a very noticeable gap between the boot and foot. gluing them seems really drastic to me as I've yet to have serious loose problems. I feel the extra pivot really helps with posing beyond generic neutral standing.

If it is down to loose joints or stiff joints I'll take the stiff ones, but the truth is that the sweet spot for that sort of thing is probably somewhere in the middle.
It is a shame that the rocker ankles that figures like the new Marvel Legends have were developed after this line started. Those have become standard on most everything now and seem to hold tight and offer greater stability in wide poses. The ones elites have don't even rock side to side all that well most of the time.
