First off, I will say that I got all my Avengers toys in trades, or cheap from China.
Something occured to me today when I was playing with my toys in front of the computer. I like the Avengers toys. I have Hawkeye, Cap, BW, Nick Fury and Loki.
I think Hawkeye is crap because of his massive head, and his arms can't be posed at his sides.
That said, I think these toys are way more fun to play with than any other Marvel figures. I do like MU, but their hips suck so much. They either pop off, have too bendy plastic, or have a massive amount of restriction (Hulk and Absorbing man being the worst).
I was one of the first to complain about the cut in articulation, but the more I played with the figures, the more I realised I'm not really missing it. I actually dislike Fury as his articulation isn't play friendly (and he has a pin head).
So my question is, do people really care about the actual lack of articulation with these particular figures, or is it just a sense of feeling short changed that is upsetting?
If the answer is yes to the former, is that only because of static poses (i.e. on display)?
