I've only bought the figures of characters I like, so I'm not a completist in this line. Sometimes, I'll buy a figure if it is cool, even if I don't know much about the character, but this is rare as most of my purchases are character based.
So with that said, what is your favorite Fury Files figure so far? If it isn't one, let's talk about your favorite figures from the line so far. My favorite figure right now is Union Jack. Loved the miniseries from 2006. Character is great. The figure is no exception, it turned out very well, on a body that I did not like as much before(Daredevil's). Range of motion is excellent, so despite flaws with the sculpt(long neck/short torso), it is a great figure, good paint apps and accessories. If only his left hand was closed so that he could hold both weapons at the same time. Runners up would be Moon Knight, Wolverine, and maybe Green Goblin. |

My favorite is Union Jack as well! I also only buy figures I like, and only have a handful still. I like it that way though. I agree, I loved his miniseries and he's a very underused, cool character.
I really enjoyed Jack's construction and simplisticness. His holsters are pretty well made. I don't mind the open hand, although I understand what you mean. I feel like the dynamic parts work a little more for Marvel than for the GI Joes, as Marvel figures are more for "looking badass with open hands!!!111" My second favorite MU is Bullseye, which of course is used from the same great, yet generic body. Just love his head sculpt, and again, the card hand only offers some pretty specific situations, but it's Bullseye. Deadpool is definitely my favorite from both lines as I've expressed numerous times though. |

I haven't been able to pick up Wave 4 yet, so I can't include those in my choices. But from Waves 1 thru 3 that I have my favorites would have to be (no specific order):
Wolverine - Love the sculpt on this figure. This particular body style works well for Wolverine, although in does not translate so well to other characters. And the coloring is tight. Green Goblin - The detailing is great. His body style is unique to this figure and it shows. Color scheme, detail on face and body, especially the scales. Wonderful all around. Classic Iron Man - My favorite Iron Man from the line so far. I love this classic look. And the metallic finish the paint has really works. Great figure. Runner Ups: 2-Pack Sabretooth, the Thing (limited articulation, I know, but great sculpting), Ms. Marvel (I just love this character and am so very very happy to have her.) |

Yeah, scarecrow. They nailed that Deadpool! He's easily the best from the XMO Wolverine line. I also enjoy Wolverine without mask and Iceman.

The Classic Iron Man is by far my favorite Iron Man figure I own. The colors rock, the sculpt is great for the scale... Now if you could only move that repulsor hand up and down for a better pose... Which Wolverine are you talking about?

Union Jack, Ultimate Cap, Guardian, and Moon Knight are my picks for now.
Wolvie's claws bug me, Hulk I skipped, haven't gotten ironfist yet, but waiting on the variant. Panther can't pose right, spidey has similiar issues, Daredevil has no holster for his club, Gobby just doesn't do anything for me anymore at all. Torch can't look up, and the thing has no ball jointed head, though I do love his knuckle popping pose. Ms. Marvel has no swivel arms which sucks for poses. And fury hasn't arrived yet. I love the Ironmen, but I wouldn't rate them as my 'favorite' of the line yet. Though still badass jobs on them. XMO- I don't have a clear favorite yet. Though I am digging Jacketed Logan, Gambit, Cyclops Maverick and Deadpool, they just don't really rate to me as favorite figures just yet. Maybe after more come out. Cykes, limp blast does get annoying after a few days, I just keep flipping it, but I wish it was sturdier. Last edited by Snowflakian; 06-10-2009 at 08:47 PM.. |

Wolverine is great, dig the X force costume, if they make an Astoning X Men Wolverine for Fury Files, with the 3 pads on each boot/glove, that might end up being my favorite Wolverine, I really like how that costume was drawn during Civil War.

Yeah, I really like X-Force Wolverine as well. I kind of wish I would've been patient and not bought the tiger stripe one from the XMO line.. Cause I'll never use him as a default.
Though Iron Man is my favorite super, I really like the solo characters, so X-Force Wolverine works for me. He looks like he doesn't have to be part of a squad even though he is, so he can do random team-ups with other guys. The tiger stripe one is just too thematic. I basically collect all the solo types, Deadpool, Union Jack, most of XMO figures.. I'll probably never build an actual team outside of the original Avengers, but the entire group probably won't be out for awhile... Assuming they'll take their time making Wasp. |

Wasp would be awesome. I really want a Jessica Drew Spider-Woman too. And Emma Frost. And female Loki! I would love to have the Dark Cabal. We really need a Parker Robbins Hood figure. And now that she's back, I want a Mockingbird to go along with my Clint Barton Ronin!

Yeah, I'd love to see a Wasp early on, and Domino too. And why put Mockingbird next to Ronin when you could have Hawkeye??!? Haha.
Or just a Ronin that could look up properly. |

Domino! Good call. I want the whole X-Force team now that I think about it, Modern and Liefeld era.

I really like the wave one 'Extremis' armor Ironman. Mine is great with perfect paint and not loose joints.

The V2 punisher would be perfect if his left hand were not so open-ish. Makes it hard to hold anything in that hand, but I got mine workin'.

In the XMO:WOLVERINE line: It's a tie between brown suit wolverine, deadpool, and the TRU box set exclusive Sabertooth that came with the useful motorcycle, and the less useful wolverine with cowboy hat.

My favorite has to be the Extremis Iron Man, the metalic paint is really nice and he has great sculpting and poseability.

I know people have issues with the hip joint, but I like the basic Hulk figure. I don't think I've liked a Hulk figure this much since the first Marvel Legends Hulk.

I'd love X-Force Wolvie more if they finish out at least his other two main teammates. >.>
Until then, my favorites are as listed above, well unless X-23 gets in XMO, or Emma Frost. Then my faves might start going lopsided lol. |

Classic Iron Man has been my favorite so far.
Least favorite would be DD. I don't like the body choice, to stocky for DD. |
