Hell, the lack of action features was a big selling point IIRC for the early adopters of MOTUC

Action features, by their very nature, are intended to get a kid's interest in a toy (hell, Hasbro's even brining back AFs in the revamped Saga Legends line due next year for STar WArs), as adult collectors, that need is basically irrelevant.
Most collectors will buy the toy, pose it (maybe), put it on a wall, and never touch it.

I don't see a need for action features in that environment, and it would only serve to add to Mattel's costs for a line they aren't too big on putting money into to start with.

Well personally for me its about a feeling of nostalgia man. If a guy who used to have a toy like Cyclone as a kid picks up the new one off his shelf from time-to-time any simular action feature may remind him of what he had. Therefore makeing him feel kinda good. Thats the biggest appeal in AF's for adults I think. So..."no" , I dont think they are irrelevant at all.
