Marvel Universe Figures

[Johnny M]

Anyone collecting these? They are hit and miss for me, but I do like the way they match up with the movie figures like Wolverine and Iron Man 2. I've been picking and choosing. Maybe I'll get some pics up if there is interest.

I'm most proud of my SDCC Exclusive Red Skull. He's badass!

I collect these. I have most of them and overall they're pretty neat. The QC is a little questionable, and the female sculpts are far from spectacular, but the line is worth supporting.
I skipped Blade as well as Bucky & Vintage Cap from the latest wave. I just don't have any use for vampires or WWII characters.

The X-Men wave with Archangel, Colossus, Havok, and Kitty is fantastic. I'm anxious to get my hands on the Iron Spidey wave too. I have a set in my BBTS pile-o-loot, but it'll probably be a while before I build up enough to ship it to me.

I haven't jumped in yet on these figures, but now they are coming out with some off the wall figures. I love the odd balls that you would never have thought would be a figure. So I may start soon.

I've tried collecting them, but everytime I opened a package, I found that all I had was a rock.

I got the BuckyCap that came with the giant skrull. That's not a bad figure but I bought it only because I wanted the giant skrull. However, I had to skip the 1940's retro kid-Bucky and WWII Cap. I just couldn't see myself ever wanting to display them or envision my kids wanting to play with a retro Bucky.

Thor is nice. He's larger than I expected. I had to resort to ebay for Black Widow because we still have truckloads of Spidey, Electro, and Wolverine rotting on the pegs. I'm not sure we'll ever get any new ones. Black Widow is a pretty weak figure, IMO. She's not as bad as Jean Grey, but the lack of details, manly face, and beach-ball boobs really detract from her being a good action figure. It's as if Hasbro only has one guy that can sculpt women, and he's on the Star Wars team. Because clearly, there is no one on the MU team or the GIJoe design team that has any clue what a woman actually looks like.

But Retro Bucky comes with a machine gun!!?? lol

I'll collect the Captain America and related figures. I think there is a Sharon Carter/Agent 13 figure out there I still need to track down.

I hear there will be another Cap figure exclusive at SDCC this year.

There is/was a 6" marvel legends Sharon Carter, but I don't think they've made her in the smaller line.

Found Winter Soldier Bucky. I'm psyched! Its a good one. Saw Black Widow. meh.

Anyone find the Havok and Archangel variants? I'm dying to get them, but ebay prices on those are crazy.

According to TNI from SDCC, lots of new 3 3/4 MU figures coming out in 2010/2011, including big big Sentinels, Jim Lee style Cyclops, and Apocalypse among many others.

I don't collect the line, but Galactus is very impressive. Much more than the ML BAF, and I love that figure. Well worth the $55 TRU was charging for him. I would happily pay as much (maybe a bit more) for an Anti-Monitor this size. You listening, Mattel?!?

[Johnny M]

That's really cool.
