Not if Mattel was making them. As much as I love Mattel their 3.75" lines while nice are always lacking in something. The DCIH they had good articulation, but their sculpts were off (Large catcher's mitt sized hands with body type 1 or too lean of limbs with body type 3) Now their Green Lantern line has the sculpts, but the articulation is lacking with just 6 POA. Now if the GL 4" line had the articulation of say Hasbro's Captain America they'd be beautiful.

Not unless they are made like the '80s GI Joe figures. Too many of the 3 3/4 figures these days have too many points of articulation. The companies (or buyers) think they make for a better playing experience but they don't. At that size, Elite like articulation is mess.

Normally I'd agree, but with the exception of the hip design I am really liking the Hasbro Captain America figures. But something about their ball-jointed hip doesn't work...You can't really rotate them easily. |

But something about their ball-jointed hip doesn't work...You can't really rotate them easily. I noticed those new hips and I'm looking forward to seeing how they play. I hate the hips on the other Marvel figures. Repositioning that ball to move the leg front to back or side to side is a pain and kills the flow of what you are doing. |

That's pretty much how they are...There's no flow to them at all.

I miss Jakks BNB. Too bad Mattel couldn't shrink their basic figures. The thing I dislike most about Hasbro Marvel figures is the tiny pins they use in their feet and ankles. I'm surprised I haven't broken one but they sure feel fragile.
