Secret Wars all the way- the awful rectus of a smile on many SP figs was...terrible.
The gimmicks hurt the line as well- like how Green Lantern had only one pose you could go with since his gimmic of squeeezing the legs together to make his arm shoot up kinda blew.

Though he was still better than the recent GL movie figs!

Secret Wars was also Marvel's first action figure line- and it gave us a Black Suited Spidey that still looks amazing on display- the perfect match for Secret Wars #8.
The line was intended to expand when it got cancelled and become a Marvel Universe line (yes, really).
They prodiced a few amazing figs that wrre unrelated to the SW comics- Falcon, Electro, Iceman, Daredevil, Constrictor, Hobgoblin and my favortie- Baron Zemo!
I never scored Electro, Constrictor or Iceman (which kinda sucked) but the I have the others!

Secret Wars was the best looking line Marvel ever had untill late in Toybiz's run with the line.

As to comparisons, it's not really a fair race- While Marvel's line was great looking, it did not have the Articulation and varing sculpts of Super Powers- Aso the Super powers line ra longer and had WAAAY more figures! The SP line developed a lot during it's run while the SW line was hard to find and Mattel (then, as today) sucks at making action figures.

Still, I gotta vote for Marvel- the articulation was not on par with Super powers but when you see figs like Hobgoblin (still the best comic-looking Hobby!) or Doom (the only fig to ever get that amazing SW armor!) or Baron Zemo and compare them against the first wave of Super powers suckiness (Superman, Batman and Green Lanter looking hihj as kites) and the punching gimmick, which I hate, I gotta give it to the Marvel line.

Though I bet some Super Powers figs could make great customs fodder!

Anyone know a website that shows that entire line?
