The re-brand of MU means one thing is for certain...all those MOC collectors are going to get shafted by ebay and re-sellers as a cancelled line immediately spikes the collectibilty. Had a hope of ever getting that MOC solid Vision? Consider it driven back into the mud. It also pains me to see the paucity of imagination amongst comic book fans, an Avengers-themed line-up is pretty dang expansive considering practically every hero has been an Avenger and almost all villains have clashed with them at some point. The X-Men themed year also sounds fantastic, sure, you'll get a Wolverine and a Cyclops in there but imagine how many other X-men there are. Also that confirms they'll be producing 3.75" figs until 2015 at least. What's not to like?

I think it is funny that you would assume they will use the extensive library to make new Avengers related figures instead of giving us more of characters we already own. Because it's Avengers they will be forced to make more Thor, Cap, Iron Man and the rest. What are the chances of even half the figures being new characters? Not good. What about the fact that they said MU and Avengers Assemble would be rolled into this new line? There goes some spots to less articulated cartoon based stuff. By the end of the year we may be lucky to get 3 or 4 new figures. Since they haven't shown us anything good post Vonner or given us reason to assume this new stuff will be figures we actually want to buy I'm not going to be optimistic first. Anyone that isn't very worried is just trying to trick themselves into believing it's going to be awesome with nothing to back it up. I say this as a guy that has always been positive in past when they weren't showing us stuff or revealed figured never got release dates. It is clear they didn't want to show us where the line was going. Maybe they knew we wouldn't like it.
