As for the kiddie nature of the line, it is true that these are meant for younger kids. And I have said before that is the reason why they are designed this way, but I never said that it was right. The main (sometimes, only) gimmick for a Spider-Man line should be articuation. Sure I can see additional suits and add-ons for various "special missions", since Peter's done that in the comics to an extent. But at the very least, the base toy should have the same agility as the character.

For now, I'm just waiting for Brock to be released in Marvel Universe someday (hopefully with the McFarlane sculpt and not the "alien/licker" version).
I wish the kids would buy their own damn toys... and that they'd start back with a line for us collectors... the ones that go through the trouble of finding out about these figures in the first place.

As far as articulation as the main gimmick... agreed... but only for figures known for it... like Spidey. It makes sense for bigger guys not to have so much articulation, but hell, what's wrong with basic articulation?

And I'm sure they've done MORE special suits than he's ever used in the books, so it STILL doesn't make sense.

More fun facts... today, I weakened again, and got an X Men Legends: brown and tan Wolverine... for $8... my brother got a 6 inch Marvel Legends variant Punisher(jungle camo)... for $5.

BTW, that's it... that's ALL I'm buying of the Universe line... I STILL think they're not worth it.
