Of course, I realize that there are limitations to what can be recreated with a toy at that price point, but that hasn't stopped Hasbro et. al. from pushing the envelope before.

Yeah, Deadpool can make better flying poses than my Stealth Ops Iron Man can!

I appreciate everyone's comments. I think we've got a pretty good discussion going here. I never really thought about the (very simple, but smart) fact that the more articulation there is, the more breaks.

I still have yet to buy a DC Infinite Heroes Fig(although Alex Luthor and The Scarecrow scream at me everytime I pass them) but when I look at them I always feel like they are something I could just play with without a whole lot of fear of breakage or paint-apps being ruined from them being dropped.

I still fiddle with my toys while I'm watching tv or if I'm not driving and I'm on a trip with someone, and the play value of some toys is really lost because I'm too afraid of their joints getting lose, them breaking, paint apps being messed up, etc.
