I think my favourite line was the in-betweener line AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. Sandwiched after MU but prior to MI. The definitive Black Widow, Leader, a great Nick Fury, a cool Red Skull with tiny HYDRA hat (of which oddly I still have never gotten) a really nice Hulk that I have always wanted to upgrade to but haven't done so yet, a Mich better Falcon(of which we all have scratched our heads as why they did not use THIS version when they did Vulture) and a somewhat cool but forgettable Ultimate Hawkeye with a strange ab crunch in a 3.75" figure. Two wave of under articulated under appreciated gold. And a whole bunch of Caps, Iron Man and Thor figures that killed that line too. Even though it was sort of over before it began.

It was a good little line. So much potential... and why weren't those wings used for Vulture?!

Anyway, back to SENDERS last sentence..... what was your very first Marvel Universe figure.... mine was a Dr. Doom bought at a brick and mortar store.

Electro from Asda. Back at the start. I ended up clearing almost everything they had (Namor, DD, Spidey...). I told a friend that they would never make the figures I would want, and he asked what they were... "Wrecking Crew, Vintage Captain Britain..." and he said "I think they're making the Wrecking Crew in the Secret Wars comic packs"... and that was all he needed to say to hook me completely. Still waiting for a Titania and Molecule Man though!
