MS for big guys and the odd character ML hasn't made like antivenom, but ML for the win, due to articulation and vast #'s of characters made.

MS compaired to ML, is the same as Spiderman Series compaired to ML, we get some characters like venom, rhino, shocker, etc but we all prefer when MU makes a version of it, same as MS we love the figures but prefer when ML does it. Bucky Cap is my main example, have him in both ML and MS figures and ML is better for paint, articulation, scale and over all feel.

IMHO Marvel Select Gambit is the greatest classic Gambit fig ever made:

I just love that headsculpt (classic version only); they captured his look perfectly IMO and he also comes with cool accessories too.

Decided to put an Avengers team together. Although I'm not taking a full dive into the MS or ML line ups I ended up going with an all MS squad so far, going with Thor movie ver, Captian America first Avenger ver., Ironman Avengers movie ver., and for my Hulk I have the Green Hulk ver. on its way from BBTS. When I think of the Hulk this is the closest to the way I envision him(my favorite super hero). All of them are o the Marvel Select variety.

I agree. I just don't like how he'd scale with my ML guys. so I passed. I only buy larger scale MS figs to go with ML. seems weird. I'm getting magneto though soon. There's a shop near me that has him for 25 no tax.

Agree a great figure just wish he wnt better with my marvel legends. Way to tall.. but i guess if i had all the xmen select figures then i wouldnt notice...

Yah, MS Gambit is giant... better off leaving him MOC/MIB. I also really like the helmet-less MS Magneto as well; great headsculpt too. But only the helmet-less version looks good IMO, the helmeted headsculpt of Magneto looks a little too small on his body and has a weird expression. Both of my LCSs sold out of the unhelmeted MS Magneto pretty fast... they only had the regular Magneto left when I got there.

Yah, the scale is all over the place with MS... I heard the MS Colossus fits well with ML though.
