Sorry to hear that Robzy :( I must say that is one of my pet peeves with the line, even when they aren't extremely loose, they're still tricky to balance.
I don't know what's different about making action figures as opposed to Transformers, but i can't help but think a better solution would be a solid ball joint... i guess they don't want to impair the aesthetics though.
I would probably say that my 2 KG's have some of the best ankle joints in the line so far. Kind of a rubbery firmness to them. I was very impressed when I took them out of the package.Quote:

As far as loose ankles and bobble heads are concerned, I haven't experienced any of that, not even with the rejects I got from the Chinese guy and one has a twisted ankle. Yeah they do tip over if you don't balance them right but that can also be due to the design of the joint. It's a small articulated hinge that is carrying the whole weight of the figure.Quote:

Nice! Is that Skeletor any different or just the regular release?
Same overall color scheme as the regular version but with much lighter colors and the face is more like the green and yellow of MOTUC Skeletor. Some parts also feel more rubbery like his cowl. He doesn't come with the swords.Quote:

The Battle Chariot is surprisingly impressive and the gimmick works very well but I need to fix up those bright oranges with a bit of a wash. I understand that it's representing fiery parts but it's too 'Hasbro orange' bright. The awesome bit is that the Chariot is so large that I can easily see MOTUC Skeletor naturally fitting in with it.
That's a great price! :eek: How much was shipping if you don't mind me asking..?Quote:

I actually ordered it with a book for Mum's Christmas present, so my shipping amount would be skewed. But with Amazon you can just go through the checkout, before the final confirm it'll tell you exactly how much it'll cost!
