Classics was chasing the market established by Toy Biz with Marvel Legends, the turning point where geeks stopped collecting figures with limited articulation and action features, which had been the industry standard with MotU and then TMNT, Kenner Batmen and Toy Biz. But even in 2008, the single hinge elbows and knees with visible plastic pins were behind the times.
