All MU had was it's vast cast of characters as its strength, but so many of them were 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.

Damn. I was able to get a lot of dirt cheap MU figs that I missed out on first time around since so many local collectors were completely getting out of the MU game and switching to Legends. Not gonna lie... I was hoping the same would happen to Joes... I would buy the crap out of 25th/POC Joes if people started getting rid of their collections and switching to 6" Joes.

And yah... I am legit stunned at how well 3.75" vintage SW and Clone Wars stuff retain their value a decade later even as the 6" scale SW stuff fully starts to take over.
