Hi, I am new here. I have been wanting to collect MU for a while now. I basically want to collect some characters from the various 90s Animated series, like the Fantastic Four, The Incredible, Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, and some generic Avengers to make things a little more exciting.

I am guessing the standard MU articulation are as follows:

Ball jointed head
Arm swivels
Single jointed elbow
Wrist swivels
Upper Chest or Waist swivels
Tight swivels (optional...)
Double jointed knees
Ball jointed feets

I have been looking at the various figures from the MU line and something has been seriously bugging me.

For instance, 2010 SDCC Spider-Man 3 figure had the perfect articulation for an MU figure, but I don't see them using that reusing that body at all (They probably can't due to sculpted web design...). The Scarlet Spider body was the cloest to that (It had the tight swivels many MU figures don't), and they even did a Spider-Man using that body in the Captain Britain 2 pack, but then they used a less unarticulated version of the body for future Spider-Man releases (I am talking about the giftset, the one in the giftset is the exact same Spidey from the 2 pack without the tight swivels?! And also, the current waves.)?

I am guessing it isn't only Spider-Man that has this "problem". I mean repainting an older figure and putting it out on sale without any modification is okay. But some of the newer "mix and match" figures they could have given them the newer articulation like say the recent "Jean Grey-Black Widow", they have X-23's legs... so why not?

I don't know if it's just me but it just bugs me...
