I have to disagree, but only to as slight extent.
The Marvel Universe (and Wolverine Origins as well) have a few gems and a load o' crap.
The really good (not much, but worth picking up):
1) Iron Man and Stealth Iron Man: These 2 are the same mold. The lack the full articulation due to the mold itself but it is negligible. The paint apps are spectacular and clean. They also can be combined pretty easily to make an Iron Patriot (add some Flat white to the faceplate and wallah). Both are keepers and worth picking up.
2) Captain America (Ultimate Cap). Great paint apps, great design, great execution. This is the best of the series IMHO. Worth every penny.
Unfortunately that is it for great. But buy these 3 and you may have a different opinion of the line.
Then there are the pretty good, not great:
Black Panther, Johnny Storm, Ronin, Wolverine X-Force (looks good but articulation sucks on arms due to his burgeoning steroid habit), Iron Fist (probably the best of this list, would've been great if his hands weren't open so that he can't make an actual, you know, fist), Hulk/Grey Hulk, Wolverine Brown and Wolverine Yellow (look cool, playability/possibility kind of sucks), Maverick, Deadpool (same as Wolverine), the rest of the wolvie line, Gambit, Weapon-X, Plain clothes Wolvie, Green Goblin.
The crap:
Punisher (giant cartoon head and hands), Bullseye (upper torso huge, lower torso tiny), Daredevil (same mold as Bullseye), Sabertooth (giant cartoon feet, overall odd look), Spiderman (fat dude with little feet in a Spiderman mask). The accessories suck! All the accessories are flimsy soft plastic.
All in all, buy the 3 great ones, be picky about the good ones and avoid at all costs the crap ones. You might feel better about the line.
