Agreed. While I actually love this line, I can't argue with what you've said. If they're gonna have open hands, gotta give 'em stuff to hang onto. Otherwise, just close the fist so at least it looks like they can punch people.

Even Mezco's Hellboy figures have more, and those are closer to scale to IH than MU is.

Despite the lack of articulation, I've found that I have a soft spot for this line. The batman and Superman figures I picked up yesterday totally remind me of the 1984 Kenner figures I had as a kid. My only wish is that if they're gonna limit articulation, then at least give me the power action punching!

Note: usually I'm not a fan of molded capes, but I actually really like the ones on Batman and Superman. They don't really interfere with the articulation, so it's all good. Though they're a little cape-heavy, especially Batman who tips over a lot. Hence the need for stands.

I noticed the 25th joe stands don't really fit in these figures. Does anyone know where I can grab some stands that will fit? I checked smalljoes.com, but don't know if those other stands would work or not...
