Yeah right dude. Marvel Universe will always be top dog and the movie figures will just be peg warmers aside from a few select figures. The difference between Marvel Universe and the movie line figures is that the movie figures are specifically character centric. You won't find a Wolverine in a Captain America movie line. You won't find a Luke Cage in a Iron Man movie line, and you sure as hell won't see a Spider-Man in a Thor movie line. The collectors will still jump the gun for a rare Marvel Universe figure that you wouldn't see anywhere in a Thor, Iron Man, or Cap movie. Now I do imagine movie figures will be immensely popular with the kids when they're first released and to some collectors for maybe a specific figure to compliment their MU collection like a Crossbones or a proper Bucky Cap. These movie figures will basically be the same character in a bunch of different outfits with the exception of very few. Now if you want a variety of characters Marvel Universe is where it's at. Whew... sorry for the rant brosef.
