I don't know how many of you have their hands on the new 2012 figures and have seen these comic shots.

When I first heard about them, I felt mixed. I really like the fury files that the first two series featured and I was really jaded to see them go.

Year 3 featured no file and only stands. Now this year we have only the comic shot and no stand. The comic shot itself is very underwhelming, a piece of cardboard and it is very small. In my opinion it is NO replacement for the Fury File or even the stand. It seems like an idea a collector would come up with when they create custom packaging for their custom made figures. It's a great idea on that level, but Hasbro really dropped the ball on this idea.

One positive thing I do like about it is the personalization and the stability of this idea. The fact that MU is in it's 4th year and it is still changing style is disturbing to me. We all loved how they would create themes for the figures "SHIELD, HAMMER etc" but it no longer makes sense without the Fury File to try and do that. To me, this comic shot is something they can keep going with (although it is still underwhelming of a concept)

With all that in mind, GIVE ME MY STANDS BACK!! >.<
