Nesoduxrex I feel ya and agree hole-heartedly on the same thing, accessories is what's killing MU more or less the lack there of. We're getting tiny figures with great detail in paint applications, head sculpt designs and retooling of existing molds or brand new molds. Some figures have far more appeal because of accessories, they may not all be good ones, but they're an option to give your figure.
ML is far superior I don't mean in size,articulation,sculpt,paint or design but in the fact with every figure you got a comic, 2-3 accessories, amazingly detailed base, a BAF piece to make an even bigger more badass toy, and you felt like wow that $15-20 was so worth it. Marvel Universe now gives us a base the first I dunno how many waves didn't, maybe 1-2 accessies max, IM gets his stand clip on laser webness of shit, and then sometimes they give then accessories that are to heavy for the figure to hold, or the hands don't support the weapon.
Starwars,GI JOE, all come with a boatload more accessories, they may not all be good ones, but damn who cares if 1 gun sucks when they give ya 10. They need to maybe redo the packaging to accomidate more stuff. I would love a BAF piece.. something that would make either a 6-7'' to fit in the scale such as sasquatch, or a 10-12'' figure such as the frost giant or black goliath.. it could be done, I just think Hasbro is cheap and lazy. hah
As per the MMO part of the original post, aside from my rant. Marvel could do a MMO game, DC did it why can't Marvel, we got enough characters to choose from. Marvel has done well with the spiderman game line, xmen has done fair, marvel vs Capcom 3 is amazing, and it's the 3rd installment so that alone tells you people will buy it. Marvel Alliance has had 2 version which would be more or less the feel of an MMO for Marvel.
Some retailers who didn't carry MU may carry it to tie in with the game, the same way someone buts batteries next to a display of flashlights. I would say that if we got improvements in accessories, chances are the rest of the product may suffer in 1 deparment or another. All we can really do is wait and see what the future brings.
