Super articulation only really started in the clone wars years. And 2008 ish. Those clone wars figures with the first day of issue stickers on the cards had 6 points.

Only for Star Wars, GI Joe had 6 points way before Star Wars, and as a kid I dumped my Star Wars figures for more Joes (well Cobra's really), so I'd say some kids certainly do like articulation.
I would agree that most kids don't know any better, and yep that's who they gotta sell too, but by the same token I'd say those same kids will have forgotten those toys in a month and mom or dad will throw them out. You only have to look at today's modern toy aisle to see the disposable mentality of most modern toys.
Oh yeah loved the old joes. But those O rings are a real pain now. But I never once stopped collecting SW. Never bothered me when I was a kid.
Actually playing with them, I miss no wrist articulation. Light saber battles with Kylo Ren and Kanan just don't work because they can't spin and twist the blade. Something like a stormtrooper, not so big a deal - it's point and shoot.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
I stopped collecting Star Wars around the Clone Wars period, and I found it weird that the Clone Troopers were typically more articulated than Jedi and Sith! Should've been the other way around.
Can't remember, it was too long ago and I don't collect SW to know.
