i definitely agree with you there. i mean, look @ wave 1 punisher & wave 3 punisher....

of course, the super awesome bestest ever articulation style is the gi joe style, but failing that, marvel u isn't that far behind.
again, i agree, which is why i don't have any legends figures and only have silver surfer & hulk from SHS as they are two of my favourites (I just couldn't take the DD, of course i don't think a good DD has EVER been made...)
though, i'd like to see gi joes with double-joint elbows & double-joint knees on ALL joe figures.
and the musculature on the MU Silver Surfer
is better
, but he suffers from TOO little articulation. ankles and rotation in the hips would definitely improve his surfing.... and at least my MU Silver Surfer loses his board EVERY time i pick him up. the SHS can stay on even if dropped, usually. plus his board looks cooler. ;)
i think the hulk comparison will be harder to decide. hopefully i'll get one soon.
