Most figures now come with tons of articulation (this new wave by McFarlane offers 22 points of articulation), and the ones that don't are cheaper and often are reviewed poorly, and sell less. I paid $19.99 each today for the 4 that I picked up, and while child-me would have feinted at such a price, I find it to be a good deal for something that I can display in my collection. It's definitely a "your mileage may vary" type of deal.
