Geez, somebody else complaining about this? See the other thread:

Why all the fuss here? I think the only action figures in the history of toys
that were articulated to the point that you could move them to the same degree
that they move in their artwork and cartoons were the 4" GI Joe figures. Many,
many action figures move at the head, waist, arms, and legs, and that's
it. Okay, fine, so maybe Lego should've set a built Toa on a table, taken a
picture, and used that for all box and promo art. Wow, how boring. Instead,
Lego used the CGI models that they made for the little movies, and oh my
goodness, the CGI models have more joints than the real things! I guess they
though it would look silly in the movies if the Toa moved around all
stiff-legged. Seriously, complaints like this take all the fun out of it.
These are only supposed to be toys, for pete's sake.
