It was more about being able to reuse bodies to make new figures that were actually good. Their first batch of figures ranged from decent to bad but they kept trying and even developed different sized bodies to suit certain characters. They also worked on using soft plastic pieces to add costume details so they didn't have to constantly retool body parts to suit certain characters. They were also able to experiment with reusing molds for larger characters. For instance, Juggernaut was turned into Thanos, Apocalypse, a Jack Kirby Hulk, and Skaar. The Rhino was turned into Abomination and A-Bomb. The AIM Soldier was turned into Star Lord. Classic Thor was turned into Beta Rey Bill.

By not being bound to Toybiz's work, Hasbro had freedom to try new things. And because of it, we have a totally awesome Marvel Legends line. And since this is a DC Icons thread, I'm going to loop the conversation back to DCC. Because Hasbro took the time to work on the Marvel Universe figures and developed the ankle pivot for their 3.75" figs, DC Collectibles saw that Hasbro was on to something great and began adding the ankle pivot to their own figures. It doesn't show up on all of DCC's figures but every single figure in the Icons line has ankle pivot.
