And when the line goes the way of the GI joe, and I only get 3-5 obscure con exclusives a year, well, I'll buy them, and be damn happy for it! And if, at the end, I look around and no one else even remembers there was a MU, MI, ML375 I will quietly retreat to my vault, and play with my toys while the world burns.

Seriously, 375 gets its grill kicked in every decade or so, but it always bounces back. Remember boys and girls, we died at toybiz, came back, got burnt down, came back, all be it weaker, only to survive another rebrand, with a big FU stamped on it in the form of shit quality. But if you hang in all I can promise you is you'll be miles ahead of the game when the worm turns, 6"burns out, and some jackass at hasbro says in the board room " hey, what if we make a well articulated joe scale marvel line to supplement the losses on the 6" peg...now turning to isle, warmers.

I'm with you sir. I've always loved toys an through the out my had some sort or college toon or mini collection or another. Years ago I had EVERY Jakks WWE classic superstars. Except the 1/5 warrior. Any way those things got me into customising and had to sell the lot to get a place to live when I got divorced. It's a huge regret in my life and never really collected anything to a completion state again until I saw the MU figures. It played around in my head for a long time deciding to commit and final bought a Doctor Doom figure. When I opened it I was hooked! I took the plunge and started buying seriously when the prof x wave hit. Very late in to the series but I was obsessed and by 3 months had a pretty impressive collection. I think I've had almost every MU figure real estate at 1 point but decided on getting the best version of every character. (Something I might go back to and get every figure)
If the line did stop tomorrow ( which I pray it doesnt) I will still be making every character I need to complete my collection and help anyone else complete theirs.

I genuinely think the line will come back to its former glory and think the lack of movie figs is a marketing strategy by not over saturation of the market listing ke the ironman 2 line. Once infinity war hits theatres then we will see more movie figures. As for MU the quality is creeping back I'm sure we will get re-release of characters on better molds etc like we did in previous years eg cyclops and daredevil. Ahain it's a great marketing strategy for us to buy more and more figures.

I appologise for my little rant. I don't usually get into all the personal/political conversation but I'm very passionate about this line and this scale and enjoy meeting and chatting to people alike. I've met a few guys that collect and speak to them everyday about their collections and about their lives and the storage thing is most of these guys will say the same. We speak more and know more about each other than are local friends and family. We are a community and in this community I see a great set of people that always go out their way to help every other collector out there.
