Don't think those joints come without a price. As awesome as the Minipla are, they're a lot more flimsy and less durable than the DX. Honestly, the Minipla only work because of their small scale; if they were DX sized, you'd just have a floppy mess of a toy that you'd just end up posing like you would the DX.

Could be though, it certainly looks like a minipla.

Aww. Now that you show that full picture, I'm pretty sure it's not the Minipla, since the Dorikera's drill looks painted.

Wow, that's a pretty amazing toyline! I need that T-Rex on my shelf!

I'm also surprised the gashapon looks so good. I could have sworn it was the minipla.

I'm not asking for complete articulation. I'm asking for something more than the damn arms. A thigh swivel, a ratchet ankle, something!

Looking at that picture closer I'm more convinced it is the minipla now, and that the card is referring to whatever's below/beside it. It looks way too complex for a gashapon figure.

Yeah, though I think Kyoryujin might have forward moving legs.

Let's hope it is.

Haha, well, articulation is really just a luxury for the DX line, never a priority. I guess the stability and the gimmicks will always come first, and I guess I'm okay with that.

I guess I'm asking to much. They can't even get articulation right in their 'New Standard' Figuart line.

I will say one thing though, if there's one joint he could use, it's an ankle joint, so his feet will be flat on the ground.
