This looks fucking awful, nobody ever uses it. It's time to stop, Hasbro.

Ball-joints exist for a reason.

It works on beefier figures, but Spidey is way too lean to pull it off.

Even then it just offers none of the range. You can't tilt or pivot, and the ab-crunch only goes straight forward and back. ML torso's are horribly limited.

It's one of the last holdouts of archaic engineering on the legends figures. I'm hoping that in the next few years they'll start introducing new bucks that phase it out.

They'll probably go the route they went with the 12" Legends. 12" Spidey is far more articulated than its 1:12 counterpart so it'll be a welcomed thing. Though the lower placement of an ab crunch to accommodate a diaphragm ball joint can be a crapshoot on female bodies. Pic related turned out okay though the diaphragm joint would have integrated better if it were cut at the bust line. But then you have SHF R Mika looking like a dumpster fire when they placed the ab crunch so low as to make it look like fat rolls.

They already adapted that torso scheme to 6" with Jaina Solo, and it's frustrating that they haven't put it on their ML bucks yet. That and fully-adopting the figma-style ankles they've used very sparingly are what has stopped me from buying any more MLs.

I love my Marvel Legends, but I can agree the ab crunch and waist swivel are two very outdated joints. Dual ball-&-socket joints for the waist and the diaphragm would look far better and offer superior range of motion imo. But doing that would require them to completely renovate pretty much all their body molds.

>>6849379
What set is that? I never knew of a "white hero with black sidekick" four pack, but I would gladly pick it up. I avoided getting any of those molds, but if they all came in one set like that, it'd be hard to pass up.

That's actually one joint that still irks me, and I'm hoping that Hasbro somehow manages to find a better solution for it but I'm not really expecting it anytime soon.
