No, you're certainly not. I was about to point that out before I saw your post. I'm actually very disappointed by Hasbro's lack of articulation and detail/soft goods they've been puking out. I'm disappointed because I know they're capable of wonderful detail and articulation, either they're going super cheap on us, or trying go for some retro style bs.
I think some combination. They did the same thing with the last line -- the one with the mix of Saga and Rebels. Back to five-point, for the most part, with the joints where and how they were for the Kenner figs. Particularly frustrating for me. Despite saying they never would, they finally gave us a movie-style (i.e., not animated style) Clone Wars Phase I Commander Gree... and it's got those Kenner-style hip joints destroying the lines of the character, not to mention not matching all the other Clonetroopers I have, with their multipoint articulation.
For all the ones they got wrong (mostly the repaints and exclusives that were altered as little as possible to make a new character: Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa, ARC Trooper Alpha, Imperial 181st pilot, et cetera, et cetera), I was equally amazed and thrilled by the ones they got
right (their ANH Vader -- with the robe over the chest armor and the Obi-Wan's-cape-and-lightsaber stand -- and the 300th figure Boba Fett, among others) just blow me away. So that, especially, is why I can't figure out the current trend. We know they're not only capable, but
willing to go the extra mile to deliver magnificent results for a children's toy. And they're still doing it over in their Transformers line -- the "Generations", War For/Fall Of Cybertron, and Combiner Wars figures -- to say nothing of the Masterpiece series -- are the Transformers, articulated and bearing their animated likenesses, that I wish I'd had thirty years ago. So what the hell, Hasbro? Disney directive?
