I love the McFarlane sculpt, but I definitely won't get Venom if he can't bend his knees. I've thought about buying it and trying some kind of mod or head swap, but I'm sure it would involve repainting the figure and I don't have the space for stuff like that right now.

As for the kiddie nature of the line, it is true that these are meant for younger kids. And I have said before that is the reason why they are designed this way, but I never said that it was right. The main (sometimes, only) gimmick for a Spider-Man line should be articuation. Sure I can see additional suits and add-ons for various "special missions", since Peter's done that in the comics to an extent. But at the very least, the base toy should have the same agility as the character.

For now, I'm just waiting for Brock to be released in Marvel Universe someday (hopefully with the McFarlane sculpt and not the "alien/licker" version).
