i don't know where toycom got their 17 point count, the only thing i can figure that makes sense is hinged ankles(2), double hinged knees(4), hips(6), wrists(8), double elbows(10), swivel arms(12), ball shoulders(14), waist(15), and a two point ml style neck(17). but by 'normal' counts, that's more like 21 points, more if they have swivel thighs or calves. although it doesn't look like they do.

the capsule figures appear to have ball hips, which kicks the ass of the bigger ones, but the bigger ones have double elbows.

still, more characters in a set for the price of either deunan or briaros, those capsules are an awesome value.

i hope fully-posable gashapon and trading figures is a sign of things to come and not just a fad.
