What is your ideal articulation for a humanoid action figure?

Essentially that. As long as I can make it do what I’d expect a human to do, either by pushing/pulling at the joint or by the end of its limbs, I’m happy. And SHF figures do a great job of it.

>name is right on image

Anyway for me I rate figure articulation using the pray test, ie can they do the pose in this image--without falling over. And how close can they can get if not. Needless to say the large majority of figures cannot pass this test. A very easy pose for a human but not one that is common for figures to be able to pull off due to inherent issues with typical low effort shortcut articulation types.

i'm an articulation fag so the more the merrier, but honestly my pet peeve is when a figure has horrible ankle articulation or forward ab crunch. both are completely vital to getting any kind of decent, dynamic pose out a figure no matter how limited the rest of the articulation is.
pic related is pretty much a magnum opus of articulation

This but also with a bicep swivel of some kind, this not having any inward twist kills every spiderman bandai puts out.

>forward ab crunch.
It always blows my mind that 9 times out of 10, toys have better backwards range at the torso than forwards. Backwards isn't totally useless, but way more poses need forward. Agreed on the ankles too, its one of those problems that's been solved for years, but every once in a while somebody drops the ball.

amazing yamaguchi harley

hands down the best articulated humanoid figure of all time

anything a person can pose, she can do it too

you cannot show me any other figures that have better articulation than this

ML standard. Butterfly joints and ab crunch are a plus

Ratchets are dangerous. They limit posability greatly but preserve longevity. Is there any justification for ratchet joints on a 6-7 inch figure?

Not owning any AY Revos I'd say the best (roughly) humanoid articulation scheme I've handled is the EvaEvo body. The torso articulation is great and I love how the hips are done.

Came here to post this. 1000Toys Synthetic Human is the absolute paragon of articulation.

i doubt what im going to say is super original but i think ideally they should have the same level of articulation and range of motion as a person who's a little on the limber side
