Yeah I just notice when I put the retro beast in some dynamic poses most of the torso movement comes from the diaphragm cut vs the ab crunch, but it does help I just don't like when you can see the gap in the ab crunch. Plus I'm OK with Adam Warlock being more of a static poser.

Quiet quitting seems to be the new thing and quietly killing the line with new inferior sculpts is something Hasbro is familiar with.

They started making new 3.75" figures with less articulation, softer plastic, less accessories, at an increased the price! This feels very deja-vu-esque!

Man i miss me some 3.75" marvel goodness... I hope they bring back Marvel Universe.

I still say it's kinda pointless introducing Warlock to the MCU now that the whole Infinity Gauntlet storyline is concluded and Thanos is dead.

I wish he has a karmic staff too.

Gonna be hard to top the infinity saga but I can't wait to see the xmen... or maybe xforce or x factor for the woke crowd done in mcu style. Krakoa time?
