If the ankles aren't strong, then it ain't gonna stand. I have a design in

I think some of the Bionicle sets come with them; they don't appear to serve
any purpose other than decoration.



Actually, I've found those ball joints in the Bionicle and Technic
Stormtrooper and C3-P0 sets to be very useful at the hips, shoulders, and
ankles in several of my recent mecha and large droid designs such as the
Perseus, Thunderlasher, Silverback, Fenris, and Quadracnid. You should
consider trying them.

Oh, no doubt!  I wasn't implying that the part is useless, or anything; Mark
was talking about getting large quantities of them, and I figured if he was
already buying the Bionicle sets, he could simply pull them off of the front,
because they're (apparently) there just for decoration.  I have a number of
things in store for them...
