When I was a kid I used to want all the bad guys but I only ever got all the good guys. I think that bad guys are more interesting overall because some of them aren't evil, they just have different views... I always see it as, we think we're the good guys, but this country was once taken over by our ancestors, so to the previous occupants we are the bad guys.

Say what you will about Star Wars Episode III but the best quote from that is "Good is a point of view Anakin." I do find now though that I actually root for the bad guys and always feel disappointed when they lose, except in the rare occasions where they do triumph.... like the end of watchmen.

Anyway after that massive tangent I'll get back to the point... Now that they've started making the more obscure characters rather than just The Hero and maybe one or two Villains (YEAH I'm looking at you EVERY GOD DAMN SPIDER-MAN LINE!) I've seen it as a chance to jump and get the characters as they were never available to me when I wanted them the most. I also find that its a way of exploring the Marvel Universe a bit more, you come across one you don't recognise and it's like "Ooooh who's this" bit of research later they're you're fav character and you want all their friends and nemeses etc...

And I don't play with them as such, it's more of a posing thing, I like taking photo's and making comic strips/photoshopping them. There's only so much the top of my desk (or printer at present) will do for the image.
