Are you kidding? That's like telling a Jedi Knight he can no longer say "May the Force be with you".

But as tired as I am of hearing/repeating that answer, I'm also equally tired of the "When I was a kid, I didn't want gimmicks - I wanted articulation!" response to the "for the kids" excuse. Because I'd bet you money you might have wanted it, but not having it never stopped you from playing and pretending anyway. I doubt anyone ever rage-quit playtime because his Superman couldn't bend his knees.
