We all know that the 1st mold that Hasbro would retire for Marvel Universe was the Punisher mold. They used it at least 4 times, twice for Punisher, once for Blade, and another time for Black Panther.

Upon release, it was the weakest figure in the line and not really missed(Punisher). So the question is, which figure molds do you want to see retired next? I think the following won't be sorely missed if retired:

• Black Spiderman body
• Daredevil body
• Hulk

The Black Spiderman body has hindered articulation, and the sculpt looks a bit too thick. It worked better for Iron Fist than as Spiderman. The Daredevil body has been used too many times. It's redeeming qualities are excellent range of motion. It's worst qualities are the open left hand which can't hold any weapons(*see New Cap/Moon Knight/Union Jack*), and the torso is just too damn short.

Now don't get me wrong, I still WANT TO SEE Black Spiderman, New Captain America, Daredevil, Union Jack, Hulk, and Daredevil figures in the line, just not using the original molds! Daredevil should be athletic and tall, Hulk ought to have functional hips, any character with more than one weapon ought to be able to use both weapons simultaneously, and Black Spiderman should look slender and especially not hindered/funky articulation. I mean come on, SPIDERMAN?

Seeing New Captain America, quite possibly the most highly anticipated MU figure for me this year, end up using the Daredevil body was the final straw. New Cap, a character that Brubaker made into an AWESOME temp Cap, deserved better.

Surprisingly enough, I think the decent Iron Man from wave 1 will be outdated the minute the Extremis version comes out in a few months. The Extremis version is more articulated, and looks so much better.

I thought the Hulk would be great until I tried moving his joints. The hips are terrible. Articulation at the hips is nearly non-existent.

So which molds do you want to see retired?
