Be sure to watch for toys of all the characters they royally fuck up- like pre-adolesent Nightcrawler, Cable with an eyepatch, teen Jean Grey and Iron Man in his black and gold armor (shudder).

I like Tron Ironman they have right now. That story looks like it might dive into some interesting familial ties or some other concepts. I am curious where the title will go once fracion leaves though. I'm hoping for a more human side of Stark to step forward alongside more of his old school style of crazy inventions. Everything else.... Uh, there's a reason I only read like 3 marvel titles now, and these changes aren't helping that. xD

Hey! They're the cost of about 2 6'' figures. xD But yeah they are crazy pricey for the quality they offer.

But I'm hoping some caster offers those heads- I'd make customs of Kilowog and Kyle in a minute- and Vortious already offers heads for Atrocitus, Rankorr and Saint Walker...

I've seen some great Superman and Batman customs but never a good Wonder Woman in 3.75-4" scale....

A) MU scale is about 4-4.25 now. The DC figures are actual 3.75, the size of the original RAH GI Joe line and roughly around the early modern joe figures. Those have been getting taller lately too from Hasbro.
B) Yeah that does suck. T_T

I'm okay with the size some as it offers height variety within characters, but I do hope they vary that up more later so some are bigger. I can stomach a 5 foot Kyle, or a 5 foot John stewart or even a 5 foot hal jordan and guy gardner or other Skittles Corps characters, but when you get to guys like Batman and Superman, anything less than them appearing 6 foot in comparison to the other figures just doesn't work for me.

I use the civ figure that came with the Magnugigas from dragon Knight as a Matt Smith Doctor head. xD That's the head that Doom 2099 holds on my shelf while I have a picture of the tardis on my hero shelf.
I like the Matt Smith Doctor as much as Eccleston and Tenant, but Doom needed a Doctor's head to hold for the shelf setup I wanted. xD
