I can be a bit critical of Hasbro when it comes to their Marvel Universe line. So now I want to take a moment to talk about what I think is awesome about Hasbro's MU line of figures and why it is that I buy almost every figure they put out.
1: They finally made the switch to 3 3/4 scale. This has been a dream for collectors of Marvel, Star Wars and Joe's alike. It was a bold move and well executed.
2: Hasbro is doing a great job of mixing in obscure characters throughout the line that have never seen the inside of a toy store until now. I think it's very cool that they would go against the grain to make these characters available to us for the first time ever.
3: Detail and articulation. I think many of the MU molds are fantastically well made and really have a natural style that even Legends had trouble with. They are well proportioned (mostly) and the articulation for the size is very good. That being said, I would love to see a super articulated Spiderman. I don't care if it's in the MU or Spiderman line. I just really want to see it. I love the web head!
4: Great paint apps. I know some figures can be hit or miss, but when properly applied the paint looks great! The shiny glossy metallic paint that they use for figures like Iron man and others looks great!
5: Hasbro's web site. I think it's great that you can order directly from Hasbro. Now the items are almost always limited but the prices are fair and the option is nice to have.
6: Accompanying lines. I think it's very cool that with each marvel film that hits theaters we get a line that not only includes the movie styled version of our heros but comic styled ones as well. Great for collectors looking to grow their universe.
7: Communication. I do feel that hasbro does a great job of getting proms out for us to see and drool over long before the release. Nice to know what's on the way.
8: Price point. The MU line I think comes with a very reasonable price. I would love to see a little more happening with accessories. An unmasked head or a new gun instead of the same ones all the time. But all and all the price point is pretty good.
9: Consistent releases. They just keep pumping theses guys out! I almost wish they would slow down sometimes. But what fun it is scooping these guys up!
10: I've always wanted to have a Marvel Universe collection that encompassed as wide a variety of characters as possible. And now thanks to Hasbro and this appropriately named line. Marvel Universe is bringing that want home. With its space saving size, accompanying lines, deluxe figures, and dare I dream basses and vehicles I should think will eventually make it to shelves at some point. This line will be the greatest Marvel line to grace store and collectors shelves ever.
I also think it's great that the Legends line is making a come back and I will say that the figure images shown so far look amazing! I will not be collecting them but I know a lot of you long for the 6" scale and I'm glad you're getting it back!
Hasbro has taken the Marvel licensee to a new level and for that I am grateful!
Thanks Hasbro! Keep up the excellent work!
