This is a tough call, but I'm gonna have to go against most of the crowd and say DC, just because of the DCUC/SH line.

Articulation plays a big part in my toy preferences, and while Marvel Legends is magical, some of the sculpts just aren't that pretty (Odd lookin' butt/neck joints etc). Also, the ball joints used in the hips seem to always stand out glaringly. This problem is less obvious in the 3.75" Marvel Universe line, which I have to admit I like and collect.

But DCUC/SH doesn't have this problem with ball joints. And I love the sheer weight of story some of these DC characters have behind them (Any of the icons, the big 3--Supes, Bats, WW, for eg).

It's strange about the distribution--here in South East Asia it's much easier to find DCUC and even DCSH stuff right now. We got lots of Marvel Legends but it's the much older waves. But I think pretty soon we'll not even get the DCUC stuff cos the word among retailers is that the price is going up some US$3, and that's pushing the cost price for these sellers up too much.

So DC for best line (cos really, DC Direct stuff is never concerned about articulation) and Marvel for consistently good stuff.
