I kind of see why Hasbro started moving to the new body standard now. Had much less issues without that bicep swivel. Granted I've only got two figures that actually broke like that, but my Miles Morales Spidey suffers from it too.

Do gotta admit build quality and durability definitely went up when they switched to the new standard. So it's really only Wrist swivel that we need back. GI Joe definitely had the right idea with doing the swivel elbows instead of swivel bicep.

Never had that much of an issue with the bicep swivel. Only ever broke on me once, and I was able to somewhat repair the joint with a safety pin, so no loss there(well, besides the shoulder hinge, but to be fair, I was working with the Ultimate Spider-man). Also, I hate the new swivel joints on a sculpting level. It doesn't flow as naturally as the bicep swivel.
