I'm sure most kids wish they could do that too

Whether you like it or not (and I already
know
you don't), Marvel Universe IS that line right now. Well, at least as far as Marvel characters are concerned.
Quote:
As far as articulation as the main gimmick... agreed... but only for figures known for it... like Spidey. It makes sense for bigger guys not to have so much articulation, but hell, what's wrong with basic articulation?
This is basically what I meant by saying Spidey's main gimmick should be articulation. He is known for extreme agility and dynamic poses, so his toys should reflect this (unless hampered by a different suit or mutation).
And I agree that same reasoning should apply to all other characters as well. Characters like Rhino and Sandman don't need tons of articulation. Venom, on the other hand, should have just as much as Spidey himself.
Quote:
And I'm sure they've done MORE special suits than he's ever used in the books, so it STILL doesn't make sense.
Don't get me wrong - every Spidey line goes overboard with the Special Mission suits. But some of them actually do have a precident in the comics, and I feel those are justified.

More fun facts... today, I weakened again, and got an X Men Legends: brown and tan Wolverine... for $8... my brother got a 6 inch Marvel Legends variant Punisher(jungle camo)... for $5.
BTW, that's it... that's ALL I'm buying of the Universe line... I STILL think they're not worth it.
You will be broken. We all float down here, Billy.

Personally, I'd say that one has the bare minimum articulation for a Spider-Man figure. Definitely not super-posable when compared to the MU version. Of course, if you compare it to other figures within the same line, then the call-out would be appropriate.
