I think it was brilliant to give us the option to buy a few more figures we might not get because we wanted the larger one, but to then make us buy a variant... Not cool. all this forced me out of collecting ML. It simply was no longer worth the price to build my collection.

I would really like to see hasbro start paying more attention to scale and articulation. I've been collecting almost all my life and remember when action figures like the original 90's Batman movie figures came out and couldn't move at the knees and elbows. I quickly switched to Toy Biz's X-men line that did so. Now we see the de-evolution of figures going back 20 years..? Venom is like Spiderman, he's supposed to be a flexible villain.

I know it's easy for so many of you to overlook these problems, but you know it bothers you. Now with MU line I find myself interested but all the same problems are present. A little quality control goes a long way!

True but it seems Hasbro leaves out a lot of articulation on these lines. MU still has more articulation than the individual character/movie lines.
