You may feel that way, but I disagree. If it were not a 'play' line at heart the paint apps would be better, there would be more accessories, they'd occupy space in the collector's section at TRU, there would be less concern about risque or adult themed characters, and the price points would be higher. Not to mention the distinction that's always been made between Legends figs and their Select cousins. I want them to be considered in the same light you do, but the reality of the matter says otherwise. Hit-monkey himself could be viewed as a gimmick, given the weakness of the fig as a BAF...many collectors (outside of Deadpool fans) complained about the inclusion of the fig. as a build a figure.

Why settle for an 'approximation' when one could simply use the source material? Children that enjoy the cartoon aren't going to miss aesthetic changes that were created largely for the ease they present when animating. I view it much like the unnecessary costume changes in Hollywood's super flicks...no real need to 're-envision' what's worked for years. Just my opinion...

@Blunder
I just realized something that might be getting lost in the sauce. When I say 'collector's line' what I should probably be saying is 'collector's grade.' 'Collectors' support all sorts of things, but not everything is conventionally thought of as 'collector's grade.' I hope that clears up my comments a bit...
