They do! It looks like Jazwares made the decision to cut down on the articulation and bulk up the extremities from their usual style for cartoon figures - I know a lot of that has been them trying to match the style of various shows, but some of these figures have just been ridiculously flimsy. These look much sturdier than their usual, and I'm hoping they use a decent grade of plastic on these.
The state of TV cartoons right now is just insane. Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show...Man, these shows are hilarious, absurd, reckless, surprisingly heartfelt, and full of awesome characters. Every time I hear someone my age saying, "We had it so much better in the 90s," I have to ask if they've even seen these shows. To me, kids' TV cartoons have been good SINCE the 90s, and that's partly because they migrated from major broadcast networks on Saturday morning to cable at all hours, where there seems to be more freedom. And that's not even counting the more adult oriented stuff.
