Got my foot tech ninja today....

[Snailman]

Coolness, so what type of articulation does the Foot Tech Ninja have? Can he even sit down at least?

i actually like the fact that the newer figures don't have "ball joints" because the wave one ball jointed figures suck. the TMNT have almost no leg articulation and the foot soldier's leg articulation isn't that much better. shredder's is good, but limited because of the thing wrapped around his legs at the waist. i'd much rather have a fig where you can actually make him kick

BTW, i forgot to mention that the ball jointed arms are great. the only thing that bothers me about the arms are the elbow joints in some cases (ie. shredder's right arm, foot soldier's left arm etc)

::nods:: Yeah. I wouldn't mind the lack of arm articulation if the figures could actually sit down & stuff. I do recall it being a problem for the one ones also. Guess mutant turtles can't sit well?

10 points - Head (1), Arms (2), Elbows (2), Wrists (2), Waist (1), Legs (2).
So yes, he can sit. Unfortunatly like Hun and April, he has a V-Crotch. So when you put him in a seated stance, his legs move further apart. A T-Crotch would have been a better choice, in my opinion.

Ah..the V-Crotch...my least favorite type of articulation. ::shrugs:: I dunno, I guess I liked figures back in the day when they made the figures, they took into account that they'd be sitting in/on vehicles. Now a days they seem to just make the figures & don't put much thought on their compatibility with the vehicles.

Thanks for the info Splinter.
