Marvel superhero squad figures

Yo,

So are the Marvel superhero squad figures pose-able? Or are they just statue-esque figurines?

My girls really like the cartoons and I am thinking about getting them some for Christmas.

thanks

The ones I've seen are just molded plastic. They look pretty cool, though.

The Hasbro site calls them "posed for action."

I guess "pre-posed" was too presumptuous.

Their arms move if thats a help.
I think some of them move at the waistline too.
They are certainly not great articulated figures, but all the same they are just fine for kids dude.

I only have two Superhero Squad figures. They came together as a set.

Galactus has a couple of points of articulation. The Human Torch does not.

The majority have about 4 points of articulation but some have less.

I wish there was a way to know which ones had some articulation and which ones do not.

Mr. Fantastic and Angel are the only ones I have with no articulation. All the others do to varying degrees.

Generally flyers with bases have fewer points than standing.

I only have a couple of two packs, but The Human Torch and Silver Surfer have no articulation, The Gladiator Hulk has two points (arms) and the Silver Savage has two (arms also)

Flyers? Characters that fly or characters in flying positions?

Characters that are depicted in a flying pose. Usually on a base, i.e. one of the Iron Man figs I have is posed flying with flames coming from his bots that are fixed to a rock-looking base.

Actually, Mr. Fantastic has 2 points of articulation.

Angel, Wasp and Elektra have none.

Any way you look at it, these figures are super-cool.
