>>6992445I almost always err on the side of more articulation, which is why I'm always singing the praises of the EC T-Rex, and ended up getting the Super Poseable Indoraptor despite not initially caring for the dinosaur itself.
That said, I'm actually kind of "Eh..." on the thought of articulated knees for these lines, because you really need a certain kind of knee to make the added poseability actually work, and to offset other problems like increasing instability or fragility.
The main problem here is that most of the dinosaurs are either four-legged, or have reverse-jointed legs, so it's hard to get standard knee joints that would actually add much to their effective actual poseability beyond being a placebo.
The Indoraptor has two joints for knees to even do what it does, and even with that it sometimes feels like it really needs an ankle/toe joint as well. And the arrangement of poses you can make with it's legs aren't that great, and it's definitely hard to balance sometimes without cheating and using the tip of it's tail or a hand as a third resting point.
Meanwhile, something with just a good neck and hips like the EC Rex can basically fake standing normal, standing up tall, or crouching a bit, and I appreciate the playability in something that I can just set down and not have to fight with the legs to make sure it'll stand up.
