I know one thing tho. When GI Joe came out with all their cool articulation, it made me wonder just what on earth Star Wars was doing. Why didn't those figures have knees and elbow and proper shoulder joints??? And why were their detailing so poor???


Yeah, I know what you mean. The Star Wars people (was Kenner/now Hasbro) really didn't catch the train until 2003 when the latest figures started to show more articulation. The clone troopers now have some of the best articulation of any Star Wars figure in the line's history. Too bad it only took them 20 something years to see what the GI Joe line had from day one. Oh well.
