It's only MOTUC that have brought out mounts and vehicles in that scale so far (maybe HALO), but Mattel is still strading the fence. I would dare say, as between 1/6th or 1/32 (MASK, Sky Commanders, Sigma 6 Commando line, Star Comm), I would rather have 1/32 because it will be a vehicle/playset oriented line. [I miss my Sky Commander toys :(]

I would love for the ML figures to have stands and accessories, but you're right, they are more "figure" oriented, not play oriented.
I wanted to get MOTUC so bad, I just have to ignore it because I don't have the money for that line. It's such a cool line though, I'd love to see some playsets and vehicles in ML, even if it was just once a year.
I loved the Toy Biz and early Hasbro ML line, mostly because they were well sculpted, but still playable.
However, since I've gotten into the 1/18th scale with the the pose-ability, awesome sculpts, various army builders, dioramas, vehicles, multiple compatible lines (Mattel's lines are the only major holdouts), (slightly) lower prices, (usually) more availability, and for me easier to customize figures--I can't see myself going back to the larger scale.
I started buying DCUC for a bit, but as cool as they were, they couldn't compare to what was going on with my Joe, Star Wars, or MU collections, so I stopped.
