The only problem I have with MU and the reuse of the same mold is that it totally messes up the sense of scale. Wolvie is too big, Spidey and Nightcrawler are too tall, Magneto is a shrimp, characters that use the same mold are always the same size when they are not supposed to be, etc, etc. With Joes scale is almost irrelevant cuz they are all pretty much human size, but with superheroes and mutants that kind of thing is important IMO.

Plus with G.I.Joe they use webgear and accessories to distract you from the mold reusage... for MU all you pretty much get is an inexplicable M16 with Grenade Launcher. LOL.
