Not every Marvel Universe figure is worth getting. There are many from the first few waves that are duds and were replaced with superior versions later in the line. Also, keep an eye on the Avengers Infinite line since they are releasing some of the old MU figures like the second version of Daredevil, which is WAY better than the original DD figure.

I would also point out that some of those comic and multipacks are a good way to get the nicer versions of the core characters that your daughter may want. Depending on the price you may want to pick up an extra one for her to open and play with.

Would love to be able to buy two of each, but funds are limited, who knows i may end up opening them up depending how her collection goes.

The newer selects has better articulation. So if you just want to pose and display, Select would be a better choice specially with the included accessories. And Select have pretty much all the main stream marvel characters so your option of 10-20 figures would be good as long as you keep your collection Select only and not intermingle with Legends then scale wouldnt be a problem but then again its your collection so whatever makes you happy. Any collection no matter how big or small is a "worthy" collection.

Yeah defo just going down the display route with the Select and wont have anything to worry about the Legends as im not going down that route, just the Universe for my daughter that will be separate to my display.

I actually wouldn't recommend MU to kids who want something to play with, too many of them are fragile in my experience. I don't know which one you got, but in general it was the best collectible line for Marvel for years and Legends is just now playing catch up because Hasbro decided to pull the plug on 3.75".

She wont be playing with them as such, we'll be playing together and setting up them up as display so nothing to worry about on that front if they are fragile.

Everything i see of them i like the look of especially size, i dont like the standard Hulk one (i think the head is way too small for the body) when i get Hulk i think i will go for the Disney store exclusive one, i think that has a better look. The only big one i dont like the look of is the Thing, it doesn't look in proportion especially its arms and fists and i don't like the pants and boots it wears, i hope that one day they will bring a better version of it out and who knows im not really into the movie versions of the Select figures but if they do one for the new new Thing movie version that might end up perfect.
