Ken said they had to change the articulation at the last minute. The feet kept falling off. 
So they are glued in place. ldo they didn't cut bicep articulation. Might have been an oversight. It was mentioned by Ken also. It would have been nice to see even more articulation, but this is a spectacular figure IMHO.

Nate. LOL!
Raech. I agree about the sticker. It was an 11th hour change and they probably whould have changed or removed the sticker if they could. Ken mentioned on the other board that they forgot to tell the company to dye the joints the body color. You can't paint them afterward. They are working with a new manufacturer and it was an oversight. Rowlf's joints can easily be Sharpied with a black marker, Lew's with a red. Not the best fix, but it should match okay. They'll fix that next time.

Scooter
Just opened Scooter... no complaints here! He's just as I imagine him, scale and all!
I knew he was coming with several accessories, but I didn't really realize how copious they were until I started pulling them out of the package one by one... It's just too bad he can't seem to hold any of them.
My Electric Mayhem stage looks GREAT now - just like the band I used to play in - it's littered with chinese food containers, radios, coffee-mugs, softdrinks, bullhorns, rubber chickens...
Also, I thought I'd drop a vote in on the never ending articulation issue. While I'm thrilled to pose my Spiderman figure in a million action poses, with the Muppets, I'd MUCH rather have a decent looking figure than a super-articulated one. I think the Series 3 are at maximum level of articulation I'd ever want to see.
Oh, and I'd like to agree with every single thing that Matleo said... very eloquent!
