I do not like them at all. Not only less articulation but also that retro aesthetic does nothing to me. I just compared MU and Retro Ms. Marvel figures and MU wins decisively on all fronts. Not to mention Hasbro distribution of retro wave in Europe is non-existent.

This is the favourite conspiracy theory here. I started thinking this after Hasbro introduced limited articulation movie lines in baffling 3 inch scale and 5 inch scale. It was like saying "Forget about MU. We will be pumping out Marvel figures in all imaginable scales but 3.75 inch one. Screw you!" Also Hasbro producing ML Ultimate Riders wave with vehicles after years and years of them telling us that there is no possible way for retailers to find the place for MU vehicles? That was like slap in the face.
