Here are the Crash Dummies from Tyco
Package 1 (left) is from Series 1 called Vince and Larry. The figure is called Vince, who is a grey dummy. The package is american.
Package 2 (center) is from Series 2 called The Incredible Crash Dummies. As you can see Slick replaced Vince. His artwork is the same but the color and name tag on the artwork have been changed to match the replacment. This is also an american package.
Package 3 (right) is the same character as Package 2 but this is the Canadian Version packaging. Artwork the same as Package 1 but the name tag on his as been wipe out. The didn't even bother to change his color to match the figure. The 1 2 3 on the bottom of the package no long has words next to them. "The Incredible" that is suspose to be on top of the Crash Dummies logo is not there anymore. From what I can tell they made a template from series 1 and used it again for series 2. I find it looks horriable and messes up the look of the collection.
At least Marvel doesn't take the cheap route like this......
That's incredible. Almost like they were just re-using old packaging from the first series to get rid of it! I'm glad we don't have these issues in MU.

I'm already on board with Thor, Cap, and Iron Man, but I don't think I'll be trying to complete the Spidey line. That one has way too many crappy Spider-Men to be collectible. I'd be fine with it if all the Spideys appeared in comics somewhere, but the majority of them are just silly ways to make Spider-Man more interesting.
I grabbed a couple Marvel Select before MU, thinking they were the proper scale and detail to go with the MU Sentinel, but once I figured out the Sentinel was MU, I sold all the Select figures. They're so expensive!
