Heroclix!
Want an amazing Wasp and Ant Man in tiny MU scale, far better posed than the MU versions for a buck each? Heroclix.

While buying them online (try Troll and Toad) get a bunch of Extremis Iron Mans- the clear boot jet effects on it can be cut off and used as MU boot jets, missile flame, etc.

You can buy a few Shaman Heroclix and cut the electricity effects off, glue them together and make some magic effects for Doctor Strange or Doom.

I'll second ML stands- the Johnny Storm flame stand rocks as a flight stand for him or Phionex. the Sentinel bases rock for posing X-Men on- the Sentinel head in particular is perfect MU scale.

Older Marvel toylines: Many larger characters like Strong guy, Satchsquatch and Warstar are MU scale will likely never be made in the MU line because of their size.

They're often cheap too- check Amazon before Ebay, as it's a great place for cheap toys with no bidding hassles.
The Fantasticar from the FF movie is AMAZING for MU scale- some Arker used it waaaay back in the MU Appreceation thread and I've wanted one every since!

1:18th scale Diecast cars are MU scale- often they go for as low as $20 on Amazon. If you want that street MU scene, nothing makes it like a car or two.

Dullcoat spray:
Dullcoat is used to seal a model kit or custom and takes that plastic "toy" shine off anything- if you want your fig or custom to look like it's wearing cloth, use this (I reccomend Testors' brand).
This are slightly modified Hydra figs after Dullcoat- see how the uniforms look like cloth? Compare them with my Doc Strange up there- he did not have a Dullcoat when I took that. Plastic looking, right?

It also seals weathering and custom decals in.

Star Wars/Gi Joe- obviously these are the places for crossover appeal, headswaps and better weapons than the same lame machine gun MU offers...but Rockstars Crysis figures are a trove of amazing gear. Always check other lines for custom potential- even suckfests like Pirates 3 has a great female figure that makes a perfect Dano Moonstar head.
