...the official description of 3.75" Series 1 (Non-Assemblers) Cold Snap Armor.

Posable arms and legs? $5.99 retail price? There is ZERO CHANCE these figures will have even the limited articulation the Avengers movie line did. This will be the Green Lantern of Marvel movie toys.

I really hope they don't end up being that bad articulated. Hopefully they at least look good.

I don't really get what happened with Hasbro. When they started their 3.75" initiative in 2009 with MU, X-Men Origins, and Wolverine and the X-Men, everything was either good or great. Even the WatXM figures were fun to collect because despite the low articulation, the actual designs were nice and they looked cool on a shelf.

Even the Iron Man Armored Adventures toys looked cool, despite the bad articulation. I get that the movie lines are more geared towards kids than the MU line but they did such a fantastic job with the Iron Man 2 figures, it was weird to see them get lazy with The Avengers, which was the biggest comic movie of all time.

Ignoring the articulation, where was the variety? At least give us a good comic line like XMO and IM2.

They're also not showing anything. I mean the figures come out in what, a month, and we've only seen these assembler figures? And at the last minute?

I love what Hasbro's done the past few years but there's SO much more opportunity here.
