Since when did the arms start sucking on Basics? Did I miss something major?

Off the top of my head I believe it was Series 77.

Since when did the arms start sucking on Basics? Did I miss something major? Go read through the sdcc thread, it's a pretty large issue around here |

Basically, you missed the biggest unwarranted hissy fit in the history of WWE Mattel.
And Threads laden with innaccurate statements about competing figure lines and articulation.
I'm going to sum up in just 3 bullet points
- The articulation is more like a human arm. How many of you have rotation in the arm, between the bicep and shoulder blade? (Clue, If you do you are a freak)
- If you stated that other lines would not do this, you are wrong. Lots of Legends, Neca, Multiverse and Star Wars Black Series figures have this articulation. I opened a multiverse TV Flash, and a Legends Captain America just yesterday with these arms.
- People are just scared of change, and differences. it makes no odds to me, I only display figures, I do not play. I actually find them more aesthetically pleasing, than the boulder shoulders and extra joint.

I’m so happy you’ve cleared everyone’s issue with the shoddy new basics by belittling our opinions and putting your opinion first as if it were scripture or something. |

And don't forget how the change was made to save money so they can launch the WWE Superstars (girl dolls) line or Monster figures or whatever other new lineup that pisses people off for some reason. |

I fell for a click-bait title, why is it so hard to make decent thread titles sometimes?  |

I once heard the derivation of cliche "people are just scared of change" came about in a Hasbro meeting in 1990... |

Evidence or this didn’t happen Evidence of people making that argument? There's plenty of it. Bill even addressed it. That's not how it works. If we didn't tool these at all the articulation on basic would still have changed. If you don't like a line like this it does not mean you are getting 'screwed' out of articulation on basic or elite figures. The development on these lines is completely separate. Articulation on basics has changed going forward for reasons that have nothing to do with us doing WWE Monsters figures. If you don't like WWE figures that are a little more fantasy based (Zombies, Monsters) I get it. Like or dislike them on their own merits please. |

Where’s the evidence to show that basic articulation has changed due to money going on Dolls? That’s what your saying right? Or am I not reading this right? |

These people think that 3 people work at Mattel. It's a blue chip company, not a local kwik e mart. |

The majority of us despise this arm articulation change. Unfortunately, the only thing we can do is NOT buy what we don't like. If you hate this change, don't buy them, it's the only way to get through to Mattel. It has to affect their bottom line. For those happy with these changes, why belittle the majority of us and our opinions.

Firstly, why do you hate the change? I'm interested to know.
Secondly, because the opinions in general amounted to a lot of embarrassing whinging. I don't care about the arms either way. It's just not important. But the reasons that people were throwing up were laughable at best.

I didn't like the looks of them at first, but adhering picking up a few of the balors and Corey, the new arm change isn't bad. Like others have said, its actually is more realistic to actual humans. This is just my opinion here, but id say if you have a character you really like, pick up a basic of theirs (whenever they release said character if it hasn't been released with the new arm articulation) just to see what you think. Having the balors and graves in hand changed my whole opinion on it.
