Captain America wasn't bad. Yes, way too many Cap repaints, but so many great figures thrown into the mix. And then they smartly offered a "classic" Hydra repaint. There was a lot more they could have done with Red Skull and Hydra, but it wasn't bad.

The saddest thing those was Xmen: FC. Two comic packs that had nothing to do with the movie. We could have had an Emma Frost and Banshee figure, not to mention a couple of awesome Beast figures. But nothing. That was such a disappointment. I get that its not a Disney property, but, heck, Marvel could have released these in the MU line as comic figures. But, alas ...

The biggest problem I have with MU is this: it still fails to measure up often to the older SHS figures. And I don't understand this. How could an older Thor figure still beat out the MU Thor figure that they have remade about 5 or 6 times now? How many Thing figures have we received ... and none are as good as the SHS. It is just sad.
Totally agree with you there! I think the only good 2 pack that came from the line was the Sabertooth/Wolverine one. Let's see how 2013 movie line figures turn out. With new Cap/Thor/Iron Man around the corner should be interesting to see what figures they produce. But seeing the Amazing Spider-Man ones that came out it does not bold too well.
