Until GI Joe has a strong following with kids (it won't) and until Star Wars decides to focus on their 3.75" properties again, there is no reason for companies to push their 3.75" lines. The reality is that MU is a second tier 3.75" property which was brought into a strong Star Wars prequel trilogy and GI Joe 25th anniversary Market. Once those properties reestablish themselves and boost the overall market we as 1/18th collectors will suffer.
The fact that we are still getting new and relatively obscure characters is a blessing!
The only marketing strategy I can really see working for the line is if they follow suit with the 6" line and merge MCU characters into the main MU line as opposed to movie specific lines. (I'm surprised they haven't done this yet)
Just my two cents guys.

Universe, that recipe works well. I like the head size on him (yea yea yea) I think it works well. Armoured Spidey?!?!? I thought you swore that figure off!!!
