The Showdown figures had so much articulation that they looked more like puppets than people. I love my Punisher, his sculpt is ten times better than the MU version, but the MU is better because it looks like the comics. (fugly head aside).

i may be alone in thinking this, but showdown figs and even (gasp!) marvel legends figs suffered from too much articulation, or at least articulation in unnecessary areas. i like the current style of the new universe better.
of course, the super awesome bestest ever articulation style is the gi joe style, but failing that, marvel u isn't that far behind. though, i'd like to see gi joes with double-joint elbows & double-joint knees on ALL joe figures. and the musculature on the MU Silver Surfer is better, but he suffers from TOO little articulation. ankles and rotation in the hips would definitely improve his surfing.... and at least my MU Silver Surfer loses his board EVERY time i pick him up. the SHS can stay on even if dropped, usually. plus his board looks cooler. ;) i think the hulk comparison will be harder to decide. hopefully i'll get one soon. |

I almost picked up SS for my son yesterday but we went with the CPT America instead. These MU figs are pretty cool.

The only advantage SHS had over the MU line (do far) is the ankle articulation and Hulk and Iron Man's sculpts.
Spidey was pretty good to, but far skinnier than his MU counterpart, which for me gives MU the Spidey win.

as an aside, or maybe back on topic, I admit surprise in the voting on this thread. I'm wondering if people are voting on the specific figure (as I intended) or on the line... I mean, despite my SHS Silver Surfer love, the SHS line as a whole was crap. Last edited by kingsurlycrab; 03-08-2009 at 02:06 PM.. Reason: stupid iPhone suggestive typing.... |

Voted for the SHS Silver Surfer. Not that it's that much better aesthetically (I actually think it's slightly worse, both in paint and sculpt), but the weird articulation choices on the MU version is a bit of a downer in terms of poseability, and I like having well-engineered and functional joints in my action figures.
