I myself am all about the MU, for the reasons you just stated. Really, in just a short amount of time Hasbro has already given us so many characters. I don't mind all the repaints and re-issues too much, you don't have to buy the ones you don't want. This is the line that got me into collecting as well as the only line I collect. I'm also a sicko, meaning I buy everything MU. I think it's sort of like a childhood fulfillment thing, whereas the late eighties Marvel Superheroes and early nineties X-Men toy lines had some sweet characters, I was by no means able to acquire them all. Even if i had, I still wouldn't have many complete teams.

For me, The Marvel Legends line never really appealed. I shudder to think how much room my 260 plus MU and sister line figs would take up if they were a six or seven inch scale! With MU I felt the size was perfect. I also love the cheaper price point and the wide range of characters. Not only can I begin to build different teams, but also the same teams from different eras. 70's Captain Marvel, 80's Storm and 90's Cyclops to name a few. They've still plenty to serve up, but the rate at which they come out (distribution aside) gives me plenty of hope. And that's to say nothing of the more obscure heroes and villains I dig on like Claw and the Wrecking Crew! And what of the little touches like the inscription on Thor's hammer? Or the inclusion of accessory size characters like Lockheed and Groot? I picked my first figures up on a whim at PX in Georgia, and have been hooked ever since.

I AM GROOT!
