You'll like it here, and welcome!

Sorry, dude. Hasbro has been treating the 3.75" Marvel fans fairly. They've been doing a lot better if you've been keeping up with the news

I’ll respect you position man
Although none of this caracters that you mentionated will arrive in my country.
But we don’t have a 3.75 movie decent vision, Scarlet witch, yellow jacket, quicksilver, ultron, none of the guardians of galaxy and looks like that we won’t have a dr. stranger neither
If you are OK with this situation it’s all right, but I would love to see this figures and (dream) a 3.75 netflix Marvel line.
I just think that we could have 3.75 line better than what we got. The Avengers movie line was decent and brought a lot of movie characters.
At least let the people fight to make things better than this.
The toy line can be better and the 3.75 collectors deserve better.
Just my opinion

In regards to the lack of good MCU figures, we recently got the fully articulated Civil Captain America with a bike, the Agent 13 vs Black Panther 2 pack, and the Falcon pack that comes with Redwing, removable wings, and an unmasked head to swap. All of these figures have good articulation and have been updated to their current MCU costumes

If you order older ones that can be true. With the current stuff they should be as good as any. I once bought a carded Marvel Infinite Yellow Jacket and upon opening him he had two right feet!

Fight the good fight sir! We do deserve better. Rather than thanking for scraps off the table, stand up and unite for a seat at the table!

So I bought the Hulk Playmation for $1.78 in hopes that it would be a good head substitute for the Avengers line Hulk. I tried prying his head off but it snapped instead, so I stuck a drill bit in there and cleared the peg; the head is a bit big in my opinion, but compared to the the classic avengers multi-pack, it may work. I think Pyscho Pirate did this originally:

Just my opinion

The toy line CAN be better especially with the strength of the Marvel Movies being what they are, but the 3.75" market is in a depression right now with GI Joes being reduced to TRU exclusives and Star Wars going with 5 POA and specialty black series figures. Until GI Joe has a strong following with kids (it won't) and until Star Wars decides to focus on their 3.75" properties again, there is no reason for companies to push their 3.75" lines. The reality is that MU is a second tier 3.75" property which was brought into a strong Star Wars prequel trilogy and GI Joe 25th anniversary Market. Once those properties reestablish themselves and boost the overall market we as 1/18th collectors will suffer.
The fact that we are still getting new and relatively obscure characters is a blessing!
The only marketing strategy I can really see working for the line is if they follow suit with the 6" line and merge MCU characters into the main MU line as opposed to movie specific lines. (I'm surprised they haven't done this yet)
Just my two cents guys.

[kellerw1025]

Thanks guys for the welcomes I'm happy to be part of this amazing community I love the 3.75 line so much and I will start posting pictures of my collection soon.....again thanks for the awesome welcomes you guys have no idea how awesome this is for me to finally be apart of this

Universe, that recipe works well. I like the head size on him (yea yea yea) I think it works well. Armoured Spidey?!?!? I thought you swore that figure off!!!

[Grippen]

MU is still delivering where GI Joe is completely dead right now. Just a few figures which are actually club or convention exclusives and most of them are mold reuse so all and all nothing new. SW is still going but in this scale articulation is very poor so nothing very appealing for me. MU is still holding and in some cases with new molds, Black Cat, Gamora, Black Panther, Agent 13 (partially), Daredevil, just to name a few. Yes some articulation reduction on some of them but at least the very basic is there.

I'm mostly a GI Joe collector but I've been buying some MU over the years, the ones I really like. In the last year they managed to make some quite good figures and I've been buying more then usual. Hope it continues, at least Jessica Jones is a must from the next releases. The GoG new sets are also nice but I already have the others and don't want to spend money in repaints.

I don't think my TJ Maxx's get restock of toys for some reason...I just need the Captain Marvel/Kree set, although kind of hesitant in getting it since I already have the Cap Marvel single already.

[Pilkster]

Anyone know of any links to the kree single figures of Chinabay? Looking to get 10

Problem with this is they are opening the door to smaller companies like Funko and independents to take a bite out of their market, because we don't go away when they aren't making us product, we look for more elsewhere.

I totally did and even made a stink about not wanting to collect the line because of this figure. But UKMU, once I saw it in person, despite articulation, it looks amazing. The textured legs to the bulky mess of the armor. Looks great, in packaging. I may take it out for a spider-verse setup. I still need Spiderman 2099 and those big time loser Spiderman and Scarlett spider, the newest 2 pack one.
