I want this little bastard so bad but Carnifex raped my wallet and I'm still trying to recover.

That said, this thing qualifies. It has levels of articulation on par with, or better than, Revoltechs, and can out-JoJo and out crotch-thrust even the most Obari mech.

But it breaks the sculpt. You can get just as wide a stance with the type 3 hips. Also in most cases, the thigh swivel is restricted due to keeping the upper/middle thigh one piece
Not to mention looking at it from the bottom (kicking poses, jumping poses, etc)
Not disagreeing with you, i'd rather have pulldown hips than anything mattel's doing right now, but the other hips have their merits too. There's a reason all the shfss use them

Not necessarily. Look at the Figuarts Ultraman stuff compared to Ultra-act, the type 3 breaks the sculpt much more.

They're both good, but some designs utilize either one much better than the other. I do agree that the pull-down hip design itself is very cool engineering, but nowadays it's not too special.

This.
I got the body-chan/kun recently and it has the newer joint and while I liked it and see some benefits to it, I couldn't get the thigh anywhere as high up as I would have liked for a kick pose. Of course I don't expect a Yamaguchi Revoltech level of thigh into chest articulation, but I felt the new joint was severely limited when a pull down could have helped solve that problem.

I'll give you that it does do a good job of properly using diecast, but the others aren't really out of the ordinary when it comes to engineering.

The leg panels and knee joints are pretty standard for figures with larger legs like that.

Sentinel's Dancouga, I am curious as to how they'd handle GGG. The individual components would probably suffer, but I can see it being more articulated overall.

There are a few Mcfarlane figs with great articulation, but they're the exception and not the rule.

For the most part Mcfarlane makes articulated statues. The figures look good in one or two poses at most. This makes the articulation basically useless.
