I've been sounding the alarm about this major structural issue since W1. In 5-10 years there are going to be a lot of pissed off fans with a lot of broken figures if they don't fix Hasbro's glaring error. It sucks, yes. Folk can be umbraged all they like. But it does not change the fact they need to fix it.

That's how they getcha to by the V2 versions with fixed hips! Now, granted, those V2's will have inferior paint apps, so you'll have to then upgrade to the V3's for a 30% markup and they'll be in windowless packaging so you don't know what you'll actually be getting, but don't worry! V4 versions are on the way, with retro style packaging so you can clearly see the figure! And on it goes...
