The new Basic articulation made me bail on collecting anything but Elites. Shame.

This is an exercise, not basic arm movement. I swear, some of you are just dense

Never really understood why this is such a hot button issue on a forum that is mostly adult collectors. Unless you play with the toys or pose them I don't see how the change impacts anyone beyond aesthetics.
I'm not crazy about the change in foot articulation, but that's only because some of the new boots have come out warped or otherwise have trouble standing.

At least TTLs could move! These new Basics are super stiff. Can’t move their knees at all! I think my brother and I have gone through at least four Basics this year. They may as well be statues.

Look how the shoulder and upper arm rotates with the elbow bend...just like with the old articulation.

Hate the new Basics, comparing Basics from 2010/2011 to now is just sad... - The arms just look blocky and bad now - The removal of the ankle joint was pointless - The articulation is garbage, i swear half of them now have frozen knees, can barely move them with/without knee pads At this point, the only reason to buy a Basic for most is for the head, but i don't give it long before they probably ditch the neck peg and go with a simple 360 swivel like early Jakks figures. Also, am i right in saying that the price point for Basics is still the same? despite the fact the quality has considerably dropped AND the removal of articulation. I took these pictures a while ago for a different Basic thread, but just look at the difference between 2010/2011 - Last year/Now. You'd think they'd get better over the years.
