Ever notice how starwars or gi Joe figures fall apart if they are played with hard? So us collectors don't like the lack of articulation, the kids who the retail lines are geared towards don't care at all. Oh and it lowers their tooling cist by removing articulation.

I don't entirely agree... I remember really getting into the Joes as a little guy because they were the MOST poseable out of everything else out there... sure, some of them broke eventually, but plenty others survive to today relativelly intact.
(sigh) hard to fix broken thumbs though
