Having said that, Blade could have been the best figure for me. The variety of accessories are the best of any MU figure so far, the package art is solid, but the costume design leaves more to be desired. The cape is awesome but he looks like he's wearing a plain body suit. A bullet-proof vest and more attention to the arms/legs would have made this my favorite figure.

However, I agree with others who feel Thor is probably the best all around MU figure so far. The package art is top-notch, the costume design has great detail from head to toe, and the hammer is exactly how it should look. He's porportioned correctly and has that "right out of the comics" look. The waist articulation is a nice touch as well.

I agree with you, espicially about Blade. I do like that figure a lot but I think there is some room for improvement.
