>>6000337>>6006460On their own though, I'd rate the Mk-II/Barzam articulation as fair. It's standard RD-fare, nothing particularly impressive but neither is it particularly flawed in any way. There is a bit of weakness in the forward/back range of the feet, as you don't get much movement there (the side to side rocker range if superb, though), but otherwise I don't have any complaints. One nice touch is the heads are on like a hinged panel that can raise up to give you more clearance for posing the head.
Thanks for the explanation on the Barzam's use by the New Decides, and I'm totally jealous of your Yamato Ingram Unit 2, btw. I had one but returned it due to an assembly defect. In hindsight I wish I had just kept it...
