Ahhh... I see you are using the plate hinges, presumably with a brick with a
technic hole + friction pin? I’m not a huge fan of those small ball joints,
either; but some kind of ball joint makes a good ankle joint. I’m also
dissatisfied with the multiaxis click-hinges; they are to big to be useful on
mecha that would be an appropriate size for them.

Yep. I’m actually using this:
And strengthening it with this:

Anyway, it’s good to see a new biped from you. It looks nice, well balanced,
very much your style. I have to agree with Chris - the brown and red in
those proportions don’t work as well as, say, the brown, black and red color
scheme in your Dritver (oh, wait, that was tan, not brown...

Thanks Chris! And yep, I understand your concerns with the colours.

One thing that made me almost fall out of my seat was that you used minifig
legs as hands! I’ve seen you use different hand designs for almost all of
your biped mecha; you even gave me the design for my Eros hands - so it was
surprising to see you use this classic design. It works, though; it’s good
to see a classic return (but eric will give you crap for using it, I’m
sure...)

Heh... It’s been so long since anybody has used it, I thought it was fair game
for me to finally employ it once again.
Thanks for the reply Snead!!! Hey are you working on any new mecha?
