>>5774223>I think it's because that's how a lot of older children's toys were articulated. Rather than having your double jointed elbows as separate pieces attached between the two arm pieces, it's just the two arm pieces together. It looks cheap, and feels cheap. Considering it was collector toys that used compound swivels, it's just the opposite. Ball joints and hinges are what kids toys use.
Sounds like you're just the type of person who also likes diecast feel like it's more expensive and durable because it makes your toy heavier.

Which is why a few of us have mentioned this type of articulation, because it does work out really well.
