I'd love someone to start doing shrinks and casts on some of the new stuff. but mostly I'd love to get back to the days where there was at least SOMETHING in stores! has anyone seen MU in discount bins, EVER!?! or falling off the pegs like the legends are now? the shit sold out every time, I will say in defense of Hasbro, in business if you sell a product out quickly you're not charging enough. so a small price bump makes sense. what doesn't make sence is not putting 3.75" stuff out in stores in favor of things that don't move! is anyone buying the Titan series garbage? I've noticed the Mashers have dried up, and the micro avengers don't look like they've moved at all.

Same too deep in the MU stuff, but not yet with ML that's what it would be somewhat easy for me to get rid of the ML's, especially since I'm a MOSC with the Marvel stuff. Although have been contemplating getting rid of some of my MU now, like Superion haha.

ML Chameleon: well articulated, suit and tie body, two extra heads to make two unique characters, and a BAF part. Price about 20$
MI Chameleon: reduced articulation, repacked Osborne head and a shit house spideyish head that makes no god dammed sense. no extras. and a f#@king turtle neck! who the F#$k wears a turtle neck in 2015!?!. price: almost 14$
FU Hasbro FU.

Agree the price doesn't make sense.

Honestly, it's easier to get into MU than it is to get into Legends, since a lot of the good ones sell for great prices on sites such as Amazon. You NEVER see a deal like those for Legends!


As for Legends themselves, I like them, but they're basically just bigger MUs. Everything a Legend can do these days has more or less been done by Universe, first in some cases. I was told by reviews that Legends were so much better than Universe by so many reviewers, when no, no they aren't. Universe, at least when it comes to the modern Legends, is the better line.

I also find it funny that some Universe figures are getting Legends forms.

A lot of them are, both ways it seems like. For me the MU's are great cause of space :P But the ML's do get good deals too actually, Target had them on sale and cheaper then the MU's a couple of weeks ago. I think I've seen the legends get more sales at the Brick N Mortar stores actually.

JimmyO's Patriot with Branch Bash extremities is nice though, seems like a lot of work. I saw the new Emma wave on shelves the other day and saw a kid look at them and wound up asking Mum for a Juggy MASHERS instead. It is a mad world indeed. I get it though, the mashers have big eyes and friendly faces...easy choice for a six year old.

To each their own, but yeah the Mashers do appeal to the kids, but I always see them peg warm like crazy.
