Both are interesting choices for films and both could have potential to be great films. Not necessarily successful, but enjoyable movies. The success would rely heavily on the studio educating the public about the properties and characters beforehand and positive word of mouth.

@Nexodusrex: you make some good points about how an obscure property can translate into a financially/critically successful film. But you really can't compare any of those titles to Guardians of the Galaxy or Inhumans. These two are pretty much straight up sci-fi stories, and unfortunately there's a stigma in our culture that sci-fi = geeks. I know I'm overly simplifying here, but very few Sci-Fi films are runaway success. Not to say these don't have a chance. I think there's plenty of potential. But just look at Green Lantern. He's way more recognizable than either of these two properties and that movie tanked. Bad.

You definitely can't compare either to Blade. As Boba points out, they're completely different beasts. The public at large is generally comfortable with vampire tales.

As far as toylines go, I honestly don't see these movies getting their own dedicated toy line. I think Marvel has said that these movies aren't going to be quite as big production-wise. Look at what we got for the Thor movie. There was way more potential there to do great things with a toy line for that movie. I mean, we didn't even get comic-style figures. And it's not exactly like you can do several variations of the Guardians or Inhumans. I would be happy if they just released the Inhumans in the MU line in conjunction with the film's release.
