I don't think it will. Star Wars figures (particularly the more articulated figures from the Clone Wars and Saga collections) didn't take too big of a hit, and I don't think the Joe lines you mentioned will either. The accessories, playsets and vehicles that compliment those lines are way better in terms of anything MU ever had to offer. All MU had was it's vast cast of characters as its strength, but so many of them were done poorly and there was still one too many Iron and Spider-Man figures for it's own good.

I'll probably piss off a sector of fans by saying it, but MU was a vastly inferior line of figures compared to those later Joe and Star Wars lines...especially the formentioned SW collections and Joe POC and ROC series. I collected MU for a long time, and finally got out because I got tired of the inconsistency all over the line. Scale, articulation, lack of accessories, sculpts...with MU there was always something...something I never had to worry about with those other figure brands.
