The super-posable action figures are capable of a lot of body language despite being made of hard plastic. 2 joints at the knee and 2 at the elbow help immensely. We humans do have kneecaps! If there was an extra joint in the shoulder area, perhaps we could get away from the balloons? I would also urge that the breasts go back with the chest rather than the collars. They were attached to the collars so that they would rise as an arm rises, but nobody makes morphs like that for them anyway (and we don't have morphs for them to move to the side, either). With more bones, the ones we use wouldn't have to move as far and could be deformed less. Ideally? There should be a neck and upper neck, another one between abdomen and chest (so that the whole spine can twist nicely), and extras at buttocks, shoulders, knees, and elbows. That would be 10 additional bones to help carry the mesh. Carolly
