I kinda agree with this... unlike ME Joes (which do not retain their value, 25th Joes are pretty much worthless now I think)... Marvel is a whole other story since there will always be Marvel movies being made for the next decade or two. Other toys like Joes or even Transformers won't have that free advertising for their brands. Plus, I think for Joes... you had to like Joes as kids to like them as adults... not the same with Marvel. Thanks to the movies their will always be new fans.

Especially, Marvel at 3.75" scale, which were impossible to find before MU came along. Well, I guess maybe XMO Wolvie figs were first... but same smell. LOL. For Example... when Avengers 2 comes out and it has Thanos in it... everybody will be looking for MU Thanos since I bet the Avengers Thanos fig (if they even make one) will suck monkey butt. LOL. That's why I think MU has a chance to retain a lot of its value... nothing in that scale will every come along again to make them obsolete so MU might always be the definitive 3.75" versions of all those famous marvel characters.

I think Marvel at 6" scale will always continue in some form though as mainly a collector's line, but I think fully articulated Marvel at 3.75" scale will be very hard to come by except for like rare SDCC items or something.

I 100% agree... Joes will always be my first love (actually, Tron was my first love, lol), but I never thought I would get 3.75" scale X-men figs to go along with my Joes too. And thanks to MU I will almost have all my fav mutants in 1/18th scale. If the end is indeed near... it was one hell of a ride...
