All of the DBZ Figuarts have double joints on the knees and elbows. (Though I'm also pretty sure that is standard on all Figuarts lines, so long as the sculpts allow for it.)

Gaaaaah, why did Amazon/Bluefin have to delay him till the end of the month?!
Also, if the boots on the last pic had white stripes instead of red, that'd make for a nice 'manga-style' Goku.

They are usually right, but that page was created by fans. It's not official.
