Since Elite 64- 76 ( yes I realize were waiting to get these in our hands ) and all satellite sets in that time period w the obvious exception of Ultimate Edition ( from the Rhonda I have to assume all of these are a step above even if they may be on different tiers within there own series )
which figures have had the Best articulation ?
example from what I’ve had in my hands so far Kevin Owens 66 I’d assume has to be on the High end from my first impressions where as Finn Balor 74 not much elasticity to the legs

There are two different kinds of hip joints used, ball and ratchet. The ball joints, like Owens, will have more fluid and ranged mobility. The ratchet joints have limited range of motion, and will resits more because of the way the joint is designed.. If you search the board you should find a few different threads listing what figures have the ball joint hips throughout the line.
Ultimate Edition figures use the same leg molds as the Elite figures. So for example Ultimate Warrior Elites have ratchet hips, and so does the Ultimate Edition figure. The added articulation is in the toes and double jointed elbows, as well as different torso design.

Ball joints offer a wider range of motion, as said. But the downside to them is that they're easier to loosen. I had an E54 Wyatt where his articulation was better, but he could barely stand without his legs flopping out into the splits.
I greatly prefer ratchet joints.

Thx this is helpful but when I do it seems to go back to the same one or two threads and not much info beyond elite 43ish but if someone has a link it would be much appreciated also another example is the 67 orton where I think that’s the one it’s not ball joint but has very good movement where Balor 74 and or Top Talent 18 carriage so to speak is just tight and limited was ringside exclusive this way as well is this just common in particular figures balor/ demon 46 is great movement Ziggler 70 great Cole 71 perfect anyways ordered quite a few figs still haven’t opened them all but don’t want to be disappointed in articulation |
