27 Points of Articulation, eh?

My little brother got a Spider-man action figure. It is fairly detailed… pretty nice looking. I was looking at the box and noticed that one of the main and featured selling points was that it had “27 points of articulation”.

What kid says “Hey, I want this - it has 27 points of articulation!!!” Not an insult to anyone’s intelligence, but it isn’t exactly a word that is used with any great frequency. Why not 27 moving parts? Articulation is kind of a strange word to place on a toy like this.
