Re: Why does Mattel not want articulation on their toys?
The answer to the question, in my mind, has always been, Mattel is lame. They can do super-articulation, as evidenced by their line of Avatar figures which, aside from being a bit too small, even had decent hip articulation (using a method that isn't as aesthetically pleasing as ball-jointed hips, but hey it works).
I would buy a "DC Universe" line if it were of the same or better quality as MarvelU, but I suspect that even if Mattel did come out with such a line, they'd be dinky-sized midgets similar to the current TDKR figures. The company is hopeless in my eyes, they just don't want to take my money :P
