They made toys that look like their animated series counterparts, and that's... punishing us?

I have to say, there's quite a bit of ignorance and chlidish "this big corporation should be worried about me, a very small minority of toy buyers, wants!"

This isn't Marvel Universe. This is specifically geared at a different audience: small children. Hence less breakable parts, meaning less articulation. Hence "gimmicks", which CHILDREN find fun and love seeing with action figures.

Hasbro is a business. They know how to make these sell. Are they putting gimmicks into Marvel Universe figures? No, because they know we don't want them and they are geared more at us. These Iron Man figures, much like the Wolverine & the X-Men figures, are geared at a younger crowd.

If you don't like them because of a lack of articulation, that's fine, obviously. You don't need to buy them. But the whole thinking Hasbro should be making cartoon action figures with us in mind isn't fair at all.

On that note, I WILL be buying these, just as I bought the Wolverine & the X-Men figures. I bought those because they look really good on display. I don't care about the articulation, because I know they're not made for me.

But somehow we can collect completely unarticulated statues, but children's toys based on a cartoon, that's wrong?

Come on, just buy what you buy. This is like being disappointed Mighty Muggs don't have elbow joints.
