I didn't pre-order this figure at first just because of all of the many visible joints. I'd rather buy a statue of Jake but there aren't any so I forced myself to like this figure despite the visible joints. I don't think it's stupid at all, some people like their figures to resemble the actual characters. But then again it's not so bad. Perseus is the only figure I have with visible joints and it doesn't look that bad in-hand compared to photos of it.
My Mark IV came with batteries...

Strange, for me...
DX01 - With Batteries
Ironman MK 2 - With Batteries
Ironman MK 4 - With Batteries
Ironman MK 5 - With Batteries
Ironman MK 6 - With Batteries
War Machine - With Batteries
T-600 - With Batteries
Classic Predator - With Batteries
Most of those from Sideshow
I get it, but... figure = joints
and for now they need to be visible, as rubber is the only alternative and that restricts articulation and degrades.
Hot Toys have changed their way of handling joints a great deal for better aesthetic with these muscular type bodies, look at Wolverine and Jake, and Hawkeye, much better looking than the standard TT, but they restrict articluation enough right now, anything further and it's gonna make them un-posable, which will ruin the hobby.
People buy figures to pose them and buy statues to display them in a static pose. The two should remain seperate IMO.

Just to clarify I'm talking about batteries for the base only, obviously my Ironman figures and the classic predator came with batteries inside the figure for the LEDS

Okay then, for every figure with a lighted base i have bought, they have included batteries, thats including the iron man HOA bases from sideshow.
You've been fortunate then because even the official specs for the Mark IV says that batteries aren't included for the HOA base

Yeah it's weird, every one if my Iron Man bases and my DX01 base included batteries, and yours didn't, it's a conspiracy 
Yeah I agree with you. It's a good thing that most visible joints are hidden behind clothes and accessories on most figures. And personally I see these figures as "statues" that are meant for display that you can give different poses. The only difference is that these collectibles gets labeled toy, doll or figure because of the articulation.
Yeah Hot Toys doesn't seem like a company that would include batteries, that would cost them too much and we all know they are cheap.

Yeah, i don't class them as toys either, i'd clasify them more as posable figurines. Not articulated statues as statues to me don't wear clothes
Mine have

Some statues do have actual fabric clothes on them. Some statues even have some form of articulation. I don't know what word should be used, posable figures or statues... but collectibles for display is what they are to me.
