1. Has there been any thought to packaging alternate heads (unmasked) or hands (like say a fisted hand with a character named Iron Fist) with the Marvel Universe figs?
No plans for additional pieces in these packs.but, be on the lookout for an Iron Fist variant sometime soon.

2. Are there any plans for a general release of the figures in the United Kingdom? The Wolverine: Origins and Wolverine Animated figures are already showing up on the shelves. The Marvel Universe range would complement these, especially as several monthly Marvel titles are on the newsagents shelves.
Yes, Universe should be hitting in the UK by late summer. The stronger the demand for the figures, the more of them you'll see!

3. How is it decided who gets made when? just as an example, why was human torch the first of the fantastic four made?
Usually, our team will sit down together and vigorously debate the wave lineups. This is actually one of our favorite things to do. It comes down to striking a nice balance between heavy hitting "A" characters & the fan favorites while mixing in some "what the...!"

4. Why is there such a huge difference in Hip articulation between Wolverine Origins and MU, it would seem more cost effective to have both lines more compatable. It looks like the Wolverine Origins line has Marvel Legends' style hips, while Marvel Universe has the G.I. Joe 25A style hip.
For these lines there are two design teams that work closely together. The intent is for both of these lines to mesh nicely together and complement one another. However, each team has made some individual choices when it comes articulation, etc.

5. Our entry for the "Oh God, I want these made" figures... New Warriors, the eXiles and ROM: Spaceknight. Any chance any of these will see the light of day?
These are definitely within the realm of possibility along with Rick Jones, Batroc the Leaper, Shatterstar and the Rocket Racer. Nothing is off the table when it comes to our character selection discussions!

I really want some mid-swivel articulation for the female characters.
