Maybe he moved his head, I don't remember.
If I was a kid today, I'd be very disappointed. I know I wouldn't want 6 variations of Iron Man, I'd want someone for him to fight. Nowadays kids have to wait for Series 3 to get a bad guy, and sorry kids, its seeing a limited release because Target has a glut of Wave 1 & 2 pegwarming their shelves.
Hasbro like to say the make figures "for kids", but they seem to just be aiming at lazy parents who want to walk up to the shelf, pluck off an Iron Man, Hulk, or Captain America figure, and be on their way.
It's just sad to see my main hobby die a slow death due to the mismanaging of a company that owns all the major licenses.
I get that but the influence that retailers have on case-packing must be accounted for.
