Musings of an Inkd Geek

Ball jointed head, shoulders with ball joint and hinge, upper  torso on ball joint, single jointed elbows, double jointed knees, upper arm and thigh cuts, hinged wrists, ball jointed thighs and those hinge swivel ankle rockers that Marvel Legends give many of their figures for effective, expressive stands. She can balance well on one foot and can do enough poses to make her fun.  Marvel Legends Jocasta is a unique, cool figure and is a lesser known character, even though sh...
