>Do you truly value a figure's articulation above sculpt?
NO. A figure needs articulation, but figures that are too visually chopped-up are awful. I think articulation needs to be more tastefully-done where toy-makers can get away with it while keeping the overall figure as visually clean as possible. Adding more articulation "just because" is stupid to me.

Just look at Zarana. Her shoulder pads conceal her shoulder joints. Her long gloves blend in her elbow joints. Her boot tops conceal her knee joints. Her top hides the torso joint. The only stand-out joints they couldn't conceal or blend in are the hip joints. She's probably the visually-cleanest figure in the entire Classified line when you look at the toy-sculpt details. Yet she still has as much articulation as any other in the line. This is what it looks like when they make the effort.
