Batman's 6'2, way to short compared to these G.I. Joe figures, which are shorter then alot of Marvel Universe.
These lack good articulation, sculpt, size...they're duds, the elbow articulation is beyond garbage. It's so limited that it's laughable.

Also It's false saying Marvel Movie lines waist don't swivel, I have several that do. Plus lots of the movie lines didn't need waist swivel, they had torso swivel, something all of these lack.

I don't have Batman yet so I can't comment but it's not false saying the movie lines don't swivel. Update yourself on the latest and greatest coming out from Hasbro and you will find FIXED torsos from the new Captain America 2 line, FIXED torsos from the Captain America 1 line and upper body on some, but NO WAIST swivel and NO UPPER TORSO SWIVEL on the majority of the Thor 2 line (go look at the Dark Elves, Kurse and hell, look at the crap that is the Avengers line, the Chitari or whatever they are called, and shall I point to you the Iron Man 3 line, who are you kidding with the "they had torso swivel" line) and upper torso is OK to have no waist swivel? I think not.

I see your False and raise you three TRUES sir (collectively know as a bitch slap). I'll even add in the fact that while MU no longer has waist swivel, just upper body swivel, they ditched waist swivel a while back completely, it's like chocolate without the peanut butter, or peanut butter without the jelly, or jello without the vodka, it might be good but it ain't great (stick that in yo pipe and smoke it).

As for the figures I represented, Azrael and Bane, Bane is HUGE and would crush puny ninjas. Azrael is about the same height as Thor from the movie line (actually a bit taller) but remember MU (as well as GI Joe for that matter) has fluctuated greatly over the years so I can find smaller Spiderman and taller Spiderman than any of these figures, same with Thor, same with Iron Man, same with Hulk (unfortunately, as Bane is taller then some of the recent MU Hulks), same with Captain America (triple dog dare me and I'll prove it to you in pics).

As for your sentence of review, I whole heartedly reject it. The Size is more than adequate (minus perhaps Batman, I'll save my pathos for that figure from when I have it in hand, it doesn't look like a great figure from here but the rest of the line looks pretty sharp, especially Freeze who I can't wait to arrive). The articulation is as I presented it, better than recent Marvel similar sized figures (movie duds), not better than past Marvel similar sized figures (MU).

Duds they are not. Laughable they are not. You are waaayyyy to picky my friend. May I suggest you take a separate look at the rest of the line before you poo-poo it. It might change your mind or apparently make you laugh. I realize you want Legends in 4" scale but try to have a more open mind and you might find some Christmas joy in your plastic crack.
