Ankle joints can go for me. More of a hindrance than anything

Don't give Mattel any ideas here...

If forced, I’d get rid of the thigh rotation because I never use it and can’t imagine a lot of people do either. I would trade the thigh rotation for double hinged elbows on elites.
I also wish the ankles used the old basic pins because the swivel is either loose af like E7 HHH and Cena were notorious for, or its locked in place like it has been since 2012, barely moving and defeating its own purpose.
Can they please do something to improve the Ultimate Edition torsos? Either switch to elite torsos or redesign it to make it more visually appealing, because it’s a big turn-off for me (especially on Nakamura). It only looks good on Ronda because it stops right below her bra which helps hide it. But none of the men wear bras or any sort of attire that ends right above the midriff area.

Why is this a thread?! Like “Here Bill, were totally fine with you guys taking away articulation, so go ahead and do it....” Why are we shooting ourselves in the foot?
It’s like when a new round of set gets spoiled and everyone goes “DOH GOTTA HAVE SO AND SO” giving sellers the heads up they can charge more because everyone’s telling them how bad they already want it before it’s out.
Next time I’m at work I’ll tell my boss, “hey you can cut my hours, pay, breaks, vacation, or benefits...” He didn’t freaking ask, but neither did Mattel here.
Way to jump the gun

I am 52 at this point all my articulation points are warn and failing! So I would rank them in the D - F grade range. Thanks for bringing that up! lol

None, thank you, and if Bill is reading this I do not give my consent to be cheated out of articulation.

Let’s start a new poll. $5? $7? $10? Might as well tell them to charge us more while we’re at it....

I love the elite figures the most but if you had to lose 2 joints what would it be? I would lose the Stomach joint (because of the look) and the ankle joint (because some of my figures fall because of the loose joint) Neck Joint (4) Shoulder joint (2) Bicep Joint (9) Elbow Joint (5) Wrist Joint (7) Stomach Joint (10) Waist Joint (6) Thy Joint (1) Knee Joint (3) Boot Joint (8) Ankle Joint (11) Nice try. I'm on to you, Bill.

Lol, Some of you guys are too much.
1. I keep reading on these boards that Bill doesn't come here anymore (so that argument of him being here should be irrelevant) 2. I don't want them to change anything ... just stating how the ankle joints do more harm than good for me ... and aesthetically I am not a fan of all of the stomach joints. I like elites and don't buy basics so I hope they keep it. 3. When on these boards people constantly talk about hypotheticals ... what if's ... what legends do we want (then others chime in and say "they" will never make them.
Just having fun and trying to gage your opinion ... I'm not Bill. Not a secret agent for Bill. Nor do I want them to change. Have a good one!

Boot swivel (useless except making customizing easier)
And wrist (twisting motion is useful, but the forward and back motion I don’t care about)
Ab articulation is a standard for any modern action figure line. As is ankle and full range of hips.
