I wouldn't mind it, they just do it to increase the shelf "Wow" factor, but I take issue when it bends the figure, or the weapons, or both, which it usually does.

I for one am okay with the pre-posed hands, so long as it's on a figure that makes sense. I think Cobra Commander's fist actually works; he only has one weapon, and I don't even pose him with that... The fist makes for some cool poses... Shipwrecks would be okay if he didn't come with 3 guns. THREE?!?!? WHY?!?!? The closed fist is a drawback on that one.

Spirit I can live with, he only has 1 weapon and at least the hand is open and semi-hold-a-weapon-able.

Same with Mainframe, it works for "typing". Quick Kick is kind of annoying, but his un-posed feet bug me the most. Alpine evenhas a really wide-open hand.

Honestly, the "Unposable" other figures in the line bug me more than just have a pre-posed fist. Deep Six is worthless. He has what, 2 extra points of articulation than the old one?

Major Bludd's arm pisses me off too. Viper arms are okay. Why do all the need-to-kneel-to-use-my-weapon-properly big guys like Bazooka and Roadblock not have double-knee joints?

The heads are fine, I actually like the Duke yelling head and Alpine looking up. It's more of a glare if you ask me. Duke's head only bugs me because of the colors on that figure... They're atrocious.

Lastly, Barbeque... WHY? Why can't his mask come off? They did it with the CGs, and the helmets aren't ridiculously oversized. There shouldn't be any Joe who you can't see his face. (Well, except for Snake Eyes.) I think the un-masked Beachhead was an awesome touch.

Also, any figures that come with guns that have triggers, but they don't have trigger fingers, and the handle isn't long enough to allow them to actually hold the gun, are as worthless as open-palmed QuickKick if you ask me.

Flint/Shipwreck, Zartan, Bazooka and Dusty all have great trigger fingers and hold the guns properly.
