why are the arms on the new action man not bendy like the old one with the carpet hair?

Question:

Answer: I cannot answer "why" specifically, though I suspect it has something to do with the low production values Hasbro, the manufacturer of the reproductions, employed in the design and assembly process. I'm guessing you have a "Tiger Strike" Action Man figure or other such variant from the early 90s. The 40th Anniversary figures that Hasbro produced appear to be more faithful to the original version produced by Palitoy years ago. Check out the links below (particularly the second and third links to see figure details of the Hasbro models).
