To be fair, The Amazing Spider-Man figures have one very well articulated figure - the super-articulated Spider-Man figure. Now, if you don't like it because it is a movie figure ... well, that's just how a movie line works. Fortunately, there is little in this line that Hasbro hasn't released superior versions of in either MU or Spidey lines (or perhaps if you go far enough back the Showdown figures).
With the DK toys, why is this a surprise? The GL figures were horrible. Before that, DU IC figures were poor. At least they are cheap - in price, I mean!
The Joe toys are an uneven deal. Yes, they skimped in some places and in others they went really cheap and others they went all out. The Ninja figures are really nice and fit in well with the 30th figures. My understanding is that the next wave Roadblock is much better articulated. I think they didn't see the point in a lot of articulation with CC, so we have likely seen the limit of that figure. The trooper figures aren't bad at all. Now, yes, the materials may have been cheaper in some cases but only time will tell if they are in fact inferior or not. So far, they seem to hold up just fine. The drivers are the worst spot but if haven't seen Raginspoon or other's work that are attempting to fix this by casting the armor and heads, then you are missing out.
What is funny is you left out the Avengers which of all the lines was kind of annoying as it was the least creative with the main figures, and the articulation really hindered a few of the figures that were in fact unique comic figures. It is always annoying when a poorly articulated figure is also one you want to display with your collection and it's cheapness stands out. That is sadly true with Ultimate Thor and Hawkeye. This line is also annoying in that highly demanded figures are either missing or apparently won't be released at all (Agent Coulson, Maria Hill, etc).
