It appears that Hasbro has begun to increase the points of articulation in their 12" line of figures. Previously, the line has featured only 4-6 points but the lastest release of The Fifth Brother Inquisitor has added ball-joints to the arms to potentially compete with the other 12" lines from Mattel which feature similarly priced figures but with more articulation.

Most international affiliates of Kenner who created product typically released identical toys with the exception of Lily Ledy. Not only did they release all new sculpts of each character but they also offered an Artoo that was simply an enlargement of the original 3 3/4" Artoo and [...]
We are happy to announce the addition of the modern line of 12" action figures to the site! We're working on adding the vintage and early Hasbro Collector Series lines as well to the site as well as the 6" lines (yes we said lines). We are even attempting to collect more information about the 2" line of figures from Episode I which we so highly covet.
