Well this isn't the first time hasbro or toy biz has tried the under articulation method. Pre-legends there was a period of time where the figures matched this exactly. That era right towards the end of the X-Men 90s line and the start of the hulk line, avengers line, generation X line, silver surfer line, and the onslaught line. Then as mentioned above Hasbro tried that briefly too. Toy biz though had some of the worst offenders of wtf are you thinking. Going from 10 pts of articulation to 5. You're not supposed to go down in the same series! You're supposed to go up!

This just reminds me of those figures, but not as detailed. Same articulaton though pretty much. Hopefully if anything for the kids, with the articulation this low it can go nowhere but up in later waves as they redo characters and give kids a new reason to buy the same figure. Actually yeah, these look entirely on par with the generation X or Robot Fighter figures from back in the day.

God I hated those static figures as a kid. The best gambit and Jubilee Toy Biz released(robot fighters) had horrible articulation. Same to many of the other awesome sculpts of the time like the first heroes reborn ironman and even Marvel Select Ultimate Ironman(okay this one wasn't toy biz, but it still had sucky articulation worse than these guys).
