He mentioned dropping torso articulation to maintain the sculpt and as cost-cutting. Since most of the movie Avenger costumes have natural lines in the torso which would be ideal point to fit in articulation, I don't buy the aesthetics argument. And it looks like they're including action feature accessories, like the green Cap shield launcher, so I don't buy the cost-cutting argument either.

The lack of torso articulation will probably cause me to skip on the 4" movie Avengers stuff.

Nope, it's the 4inch one I'm looking at, just not the pics here. 6'' has double elbows and swivel biceps with balled leg connectors. 4'' doesn't, it has swivel thighs and swivel elbows with a clear torso cut you can see the gap of in the side edges and front. I'm looking at the pics on marvelous news, and you can see caps torso cut plain as day. Though it does look like the detailing will hinder the range of motion. I'm not digging the 4'' cap figure gunshield launcher though. That's a bit much unlike the 4'' ironman's hyperbeam shoulder attachment that nods MVC1-3.

You can see 6'' loki behind him with removable helmet. The 4'' line has a loki where the helmet is molded on. You can see on cap the upper torso cut too, similiar to the wolverine, thor and ironmna lines used. Now thor, loki, and ironman don't seem to have it. Haven't looked closely enough at BW's pic to even tell if she does or not. The launcher blocks a clear view of cap's feet though to tell if there is any kind of improvement there.

Hopefully you'll see when toyark uploads better pics than marvelousnews ever does. I love that track record of the better pics being here even if it means waiting.

But until then, here's 4'' loki.
