that's SO much better looking than when you try to get the original BD to hold the blaster. Now I know I need to mod my BD and SBD.

Because even if it only cost an extra $1 per figure, that could have cost them several thousand bucks. Hasbro was a cheapo company that kind of skimped on a lot of stuff for their figures on multiple occasions. keep in mind that 12" star wars figures at this point in time were just toys for children to play with, and not designed for collectors with the ultimate and perfect representation of a character in 1/6 scale in mind.
I agree though, if Hasbro had added those joints, I would have bought a ton of 'em!

Do you think the bionicle joints would work for a

You know in not to sure. Give it a go man. The only thing I would tell you first is size up the parts and see how much you need to cut out of the arm socket and how much you need to sand off Oh the joint were the ball connects because you have to have a snug enough fit for the joint to glue correctly or it will be to week. If that makes sense lol.

I considered doing the same on a SBD when I did my Clanker , but what concerned me was the weight of the droids body . Having a nice tight joint is one thing , but I wonder whether the ball joints would be up to the job of holding the body in place . .

I think depending on how you do it I think it will be fine. The way I did mine it will hold SBD's weight no problem. INMO
