>>11288874There's actually a handful of figures that come with neck adapters, though they're very few and far between. There are also three elves who just straight use the 1.0 builds, Lijae, Bardic and the Xylernian Guard (though the last one could pass as human with just a repaint of the eyes).
>>11288876Armory Knights use the Valiant Knight parts, which is still standard 1.0 build, just with better range of motion due to better sculpting. That build has no new added articulation outside of a new neck hinge, it just gets better range of motion from the basic joints.
The new build has an entirely different joint structure, using double hinges in the elbows and knees instead of the swivel peg.
Personally, I'm not too fond of the idea as it instantly limits your ability to swap parts around. Plus I always preferred well engineered single hinge joint elbows to any kind of double jointed limb.
>>11288877>>11288907It gets even more convoluted when you throw Cosmic stuff into the mix. I'm pretty sure the Grey's use 2.0 connection sizes, but are much taller. Most of the Cosmic females use the old 2.0 build, while a good chunk use the 1.0. Though Goblins technically first showed up with 1.0 bodies, most of em were built on the 2.0 buck, except the last Legion Builder, who actually has a neck adapter to fit 2.0 heads on 1.0 bodies.
Also, I legit have no clue which build Diis Paatar uses, as it could easily be either 1 or 2. And then there's the Brute Scale figures, which is a headache all on it's own.
>>11288954I'm pretty sure there were issues with the original Bird mold to the point where the 4H said they won't be able to make more even if they wanted to. Probably factory shenanigans as that was still early in Mythic's production and they changed factories a few times. I like my birds, but honestly they're no where near as nice as the Legions. Though it is a shame to lose those legs as they work perfectly on 2.0 bodies to make an awesome harpy.
