Yeah, they're really disappointing. Mind you, I thought the Toybiz 1:18th line was pretty dreadful, too. The sculpts are weak and gangly, the plastic is really cheap, and the price tag is just too much to swallow. The new Joes come with so many cool accessories, and still manage to be cheaper! I can only imagine how much the license must be costing Hasbro to produce such mediocrity at such an ungainly price.
I bought a Spider-Man, and a Green Goblin when they came out, as they're my favorite Marvel characters. Such a letdown -_- part of the problem, I feel, is the non-standard articulation. Either figures have too little, like the stationary chests on the Punisher, or too much, explaining the really fragile, crappy legs.
If they put the design crew working on GI Joe to task on the Marvel figures, I think we would see such a rise in quality.
