Wolvie is 5'3" and I like how that shows in team shots as opposed to Cable standing taller than Warpath, and Spidey being taller and out-weighing IM and Cap. As far as artic is concerned, they have swivel thighs that again- don't keep falling apart, and this whole rocker-ankle craze is the most useless figure innovation ever.

They keep using the XMO Wolverines because they work. No point changing a good thing.

Personally I don't think rocker ankles are useless, I like them. They give more options for posing.

I can see your points about the legs not falling off and I agree with both of you. In fact I loathe how my FF Spidey's right leg was not attached in packaging. I popped it onto the hip ball joint but since it spent time unattached, it doesn't stay on too well. It's annoying to see the legs fall off.

What I do prefer is the Avengers/GI Joe Renegades Amazon 4 pack style of hip construction. However, if stuck, the joints can rip.
