I hit the floor when the ML line came out, at first it was consistent in scale and offered articulation unheard of at the time. A true innovation in the toy biz industry but later they started slacking off and the line began to suffer. I loved the build a figure idea and actually thought of it as a child but when they started making you buy variants of the same toy in the same sires just to complete the larger one it bothered me. I think it was brilliant to give us the option to buy a few more figures we might not get because we wanted the larger one, but to then make us buy a variant... Not cool. all this forced me out of collecting ML. It simply was no longer worth the price to build my collection.

I would really like to see hasbro start paying more attention to scale and articulation. I've been collecting almost all my life and remember when action figures like the original 90's Batman movie figures came out and couldn't move at the knees and elbows. I quickly switched to Toy Biz's X-men line that did so. Now we see the de-evolution of figures going back 20 years..? Venom is like Spiderman, he's supposed to be a flexible villain.

I know it's easy for so many of you to overlook these problems, but you know it bothers you. Now with MU line I find myself interested but all the same problems are present. A little quality control goes a long way!

I know this has turned into a rant but if I've not earned the right to express my opinion than I know I've bought it! I would be happy to offer some free consultation to Hasbro if they wanted to improve there line with little effort. Somehow I don't think they are interested in what I or you have to say in the matter. We only make it possible for them to exists.
