Marvel Universe
Best
- Cable. What can I say?First MU figure I looked at and was genuinely impressed by.
Runner up
- I know I don't have him in hand yet, but the new Steve Rogers. It looks badass, and has all the new articulation tricks... it's gonna rock.
Worst
- N/A
Runner up
- All the female body sculpt figures.
Underrated
- N/A
Runner up
- N/A
Overrated
- Archangel. Those wings look so stupid. I'll wait for them to remake him with a better body, and more accurate wings.
Runner up
- Dr. Doom. It looks ok, but as a toy, it fails. The cape it too stiff, the gun doesn't even stay in the holster... its only redemtion is that it's Dr. friggin' DOOM.
Captain America
Best
- Movie Cap. It's everything the movie Cap should have been, sans bomber jacket.
Runner up
- WW2 Cap. Isn't quite as good as the SDCC version, because the colors are off. And the shoulder articulation is kinda bad... but it's still a nice looking, technical figure.
Worst
- Arctic Cap. Really? REALLY?
Runner up
- N/A
Underrated
- WInter Soldier. he pegwarmed for awhile, but he really is a good figure. Leaves the MU one in the dust.
Runner up
- N/A
Overrated
- Captain Britain. He's cool, but if you really look at the torso... the size of it is really screwy. He's ok, but not quite as good as he should be.
Runner up
- N/A
Thor
Best
- Hogun. His accessory is cool and useful, his sculpt is accurate, and it looks nice on the shelf.
Runner up
- Frost Giants, Sif
Worst
- Blaster armor Thor.
Runner up
- Light-up hammer Thor, Loki repaint
Underrated
- Warriors 3. A lot of people give em no love. They're rare, and that's sad, because they're pretty decent likenesses and as figures they're as a whole much better than the main Thors.
Runner up
- N/A
Overrated
- Destroyer. It's a necessary figure, but let's face it... it SUCKS. No waist articulation because of a pointless light-up feature. The shoulders are a thowback to the 90s. We should have better shoulders on a figure in 2011. Come one.
Runner up
- Fandral. Though I like the Warriors 3 figures, he's just... to gimmicked. his armor isn't that great, his sword is flimsy, and the scabbard doesn't blend with the figure at all. The cape comes off, but if you take it off, you have this ridiculous chest armor jutting off...
Iron Man 2
Best
- N/A
Runner up
- N/A
Worst
- Comic series Modern Iron Man. Ok, um... 2011. Nice scult, yes, but no elbow swivel? Really? And whats up with the shoulder flap armor pieces? They fall off any time you try to pose it!
Runner up
- Comic series War Machine (those damn shoulders!)
Underrated
- Movie armors. I think a lot of the people here don't give movie lines enough credit... these are cool figures.
Runner up
- N/A
Overrated
- Drones. Ok, yeah, they're cool, but their articulation makes it impossible to really pose them. I fixed mine by dremeling off the little skirt thingy to allow forward and backward joint movement, but that should have been done already.
Runner up
- Anything comic series really. There were a lot of things that needed to be done better.
