The 25th anniversary single packs are all glossy and showy and can easily be hung up to display.

this is most likely the reason to be honest. i bought some star wars figures at a local flea market from a collector who still had them mint. as soon as i got them i opened them where i was so i could touch them. he wondered why i did that when they were mint. i told him a toy untouched wasnt a toy at all. since this is the 25th hasbo is probably think most people will buy them to keep, which i believe a lot are. with this mindset the toys really dont need to do much, like sit properly since in their minds their never gonna be posed.
