Yah, even though they lacked some articulation Avengers figs looked good for the most part. Well, except for the Hulk... IMO MU Hulk looks more like movie Hulk than Avengers Hulk... 3.75" Avengers Hulk was just unacceptable. LOL. For me... sometimes I like the movie design more and sometimes I like the comic design more... so I just go with whichever looks cooler.

I really liked the Cap figs... the Captain America line was a great smaller line; I hope any Cap 2 figs that get made are also decent. Hopefully, since Iron Man is popular with the kids then that is why Hasbro reduced the quality. I doubt Thor and Cap will be marketed as heavily towards kids so maybe they will have the normal level of quality.

Yeah, I'm only collecting the official Marvel-created lines. Well, that and Amazing Spider-Man, since there are rumors that they may cross-pollinate the franchises eventually. And I'm a fan of Spidey.

That Hulk figure was awful. I was okay with him at first, but liked him less and less as time went on. I ended up replacing him with the 6" Wal-Mart Hulk. He's a bit too big for the scale, but Hulk varies in size in between movies anyways. And he looks much better in the group pose. I like to bring in some of the other scales when appropriate, like Destroyer, Iron Monger, etc. to give better representations of size.

The Cap line was a solid line. Ended up with Cap, Red Skull, and all three Hydra Soldiers. There seemed like there was a lot of good offerings in the comic series part of the line as well.

I've actually gone back and picked up some of the IM 2 Concept Series figs too, since it looks like at least some of them will be making appearances in the new film. Doing my best to try and avoid spoilers, but I want to grab them now before a possible resurgence in popularity makes them more expensive.

I'm really looking forward to getting the GotG line next year for some reason. I've never read the book, but I think the characters will add some nice variety. And this is purely speculation, but I'm hoping it'll give us our first Thanos figure as well.
