The articulation changing over time doesn't bother me so long as the sculpts are still good. Though Bishop with one closed hand makes no sense. He of all people should be able to dual wield his guns. Especially if no energy blast effect is being included. I do like they have a holster for his pistol though.

They pretty much have a boxset ready to go of classic avengers now with that Beast. Sinister 6 too now with that sandman and upcoming vulture and ock.

Also, is it my imagination or is there a non-furred beast in the dio? No clear shots of him, but he's in blue tights with bare arms and bare feet, which was always beast's trademark classic suit.

I read something from the panel that better articulation could return in future waves. No waist and no wrists is a crime. I'm always trying to be optimistic with this line but these new figures send mixed messages.

I'm really just more miffed at skinny looking sculpt for Bishop and lack of even a waist swivel for the new torsos.

That Bishop looks cartoony, not in a good way. Lack of waist.... guh!

Those Joe club figures are insanely priced and all I hear are problems and complaints from the people that buy them. I'm sure something actually run by Hasbro wouldn't have some of those issues though.

Yeah, Iceman, I hope to see Emma soon too and on the proper buck.

As for the Club idea and Joe Club figures: I have 3 friends who do the Joe Sub figures and I do too. None of us have had any problems with our figures or the Joe Club. Not saying there aren't problems, just saying its not as terrible as some Joe fans claim. I would love Marvel Club figures but I'd rather they just raise the price to $13-$14 a figure and make them direct to consumer. Keep the articulation, fan votes, do it! This line was killed at retail BY HASBRO a year and a half ago. Multiple Iron Man 2 figures, Thor movie figures, and endless Caps and Spideys were the bullets.
