Toe joints are only needed on characters that have a crouch or kneeling pose in their usual repertoire of stances. So Spider-man, Iron Man, Snake Eyes, Power Rangers, Aliens, toe joints make sense, but characters who rarely go beyond a squat like Hellboy, Doomguy, Superman, Robocop, Goku, they're not necessary. For example, I love the toe bends on this Spider-man and it bothers me that none of my newer Marvel legends Spideys have them, but on the other hand I'm never sticking Thrawn into a crouch, so they're be pointless.
