the first 3 years of MU had mediocre success,but rapidly declined afterwards.with most of the legends collectors dropping it,final nail in the coffin!!!it could not sustain itself at a profitable level with the fanbase it currently has.so why should Hasbro pander to a "handful" of people???

really the only people profiting off MU are customisers and scalpers.notice at last years con how legends have gone full tilt on customising made easy display set up they had?plus all the options and accessories you get with their latest waves?seems they wnt to encourage people to try their hand at customising by providing the pieces neccessary???a very smart move!!!

i agree with you, the MU line has already seen it's golden age along with many other toy lines. And i am not holding my breath during Hasbro's MU 'resting' hiatus. But it's still disappointing for the scale to go dark right before the epic end-stage of this Marvel's cinematic Avengers or frankly the height of superhero popularity as a whole.

If and when the MU returns, these recent MU/MCU/GamerVerse two-packs would be an ideal way to continue the line. Both for corporate profit and consumer cost. While articulation may not be the best, sculpting has improved and price point effective ($20 USD for 2 figures).

Like their Star Wars lines, Hasbro could keep both scales. And i also agree, though it would not surprise me, that they would test the waters for 6" GI Joe line along with the legendary 3.75" scale.

Yet, vehicles and playsets are the true perks to the 3.75" scale. Star Wars and JOE certainly benefit from that. Marvel Universe, not so much. But the interest and fandom is there. Only if Hasbro gives it the effort that Mattel recently did with Jurassic World. Create iconic vehicles like Ghost Rider's bike or iconic buildings (or playset pieces) like the Strange's Sanctum Santorum.
