Is it really SO bad for someone to be even the tiniest bit positive about a Mattel figure?

I'll get positive again when they have knees and elbows. So far this one isn't really an improvement since Dark Knight rises had knees but not elbows. Now all they did was move it from knees to elbows.
GL probably would have had similar if it wasn't for the wide amount of unique mold aliens.

I'll agree there are some positives though. The detail is amazing, and the cloth capes are a nice touch. Just articulation with Mattel has been declining back to 80s standards and other than heavy sarcasm, I personally refuse to praise them until they catch back up to modern day toy articulation.

They've made some great strides with many aspects, if only they could up the articulation on these and they would be perfect. Sadly, that's what is holding mattel back and making them shelfwarm.

On the flip side though, these cuts are what are keeping the figures under 8 bucks at retail. So it is a trade off. I just kind of wish they'd at least pull an amazing spider-man though.

Do however many crappy low artic figs, but at least package one super articulated figure and use that as its selling point. If they did that at least, I'd have no complaints at all.
