- The Marvel Universe line is absolutely fantastic.(Sure... if you don't care that they're no longer the 6" scale...)
- Mighty Muggs are so fun to collect, it's insane.(Lemme clue you in on something... not everyone loves those things... I sure as hell don't...)
- They did a good line for Spectacular Spider-Man. While some are a bit wild (jetpacks, etc.), it's based on a children's cartoon show so that's to be expected. The actual figures themselves are nice.(Have they given them moveable ankes and wrists yet? because that would actually make them nicer....)
- The 3 3/4 Wolverine and the X-Men figures look very nice, and so far, nothing crazy with jetpacks and the like.(I saw those... apparently you'll forgive Hasbro for ANYTHING.)
- The X-Men Origins: Wolverine line is pretty good. Nothing amazing, though wave 2/3 looks much better.(Brown and tan Wolverine and Deadpool FTW. The rest can take a flying leap off a steep cliff.)

There's really no reason to hate on the products Hasbro is putting out now. (Like HELL there isn't.)

I noticed the only complaint you could lobby against MU is that they aren't 6" figures. Sorry, but not everyone thinks that Marvel Legends is the be-all-end-all of Marvel toys. Some of them I thought just sucked. I used to collect them hardcore but I started losing interest in them even while Toy Biz was still putting them out. There were several factors involved, but basically I stopped collecting them altogether.


But hey, you have your opinion and I have mine. I personally like the 3.75" scale for several reasons:

• Smaller, so they're cheaper to produce
• Smaller scale means it's easier and cheaper to produce compatible vehicles/play sets
• Smaller scale also means that more product can fit in the same area, maximizing shelf space and pleasing retailers
• Easier to fit in larger characters and still have them in-scale
• Cheaper to produce means cheaper for me to buy
• Cheaper to produce also means a higher likelihood that they will release more characters.
• No BAF's, so I don't have to get every single figure in a wave or else end up with useless bits of plastic. And when I want the larger one, all I have to do is get that particular Gigantic Battles set.

On to the other comments:

Mighty Muggs - Sure you may not like them. I think they're cute, but I don't collect them myself (I admit I bought MM Soundwave, but only because it's Soundwave).

But they are apparently popular enough that Star Wars MM's are on their 8th wave, Marvel is now up to wave 5 or 6, G.I.Joe and Transformers just came out with their 1st waves and even Indy had a couple of waves. So again, another arguably successful Marvel line from Hasbro.

WATXM - I'm not that big of a fan, but there are others who love the line. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean the line automatically sucks and no one should like them.

W:O - Same as above. Some of the figures I really like, such as the two you mentioned. Others, not so much. But someone else may love the movie version of Deadpool and Sabretooth, and I can't fault them for their opinion.
