The articulation, or lack thereof, kills this line.
Let's look at the argument. This line is aimed at kinds...fine. Kids don't care about articulation...fine. Kids prefer heroes over villains...fine.
All this said, why doesn't Hasbro give the villains articulation...thus ensuring sales to collectors who favor villains over how kids do. And thus skip on articulation for the multitude of Spider-Man figures?
If there's a cost per wave which has to be distributed across all the figures, why not sell one less variant Spider-Man per wave if it puts some form of standard articulation on a villain.
I see a lot of these figures pegwarming. I don't think MU collectors will be scooping up the villains, since they're rather unposeable. With a little adjustment to the line, the line could be a success for both kids and collectors, but there doesn't seem to be much foresight regarding this.
Meanwhile, the Iron Man 2 figures are rather poseable. And I hear that line is going to be introducing quite a few characters. Two starkly different approaches to how a line dedicated to a mainstream character can be be done. Definately more interested in the Iron Man line.
