>>11227749the hips are a floating piece, the actual joint inside is a Y piece with balljoints. they get the job done and I have had no problems or issues with the hips being a floating piece, they dont feel fiddly or annoying in hand. I kinda wish in retrospect that the "collarbones" were soft plastic so the arms can have even greater butterfly joint range of motion but they have not felt intrusive at all. they are glued in placed so if they fall out or anything you should glue them back.
