Please delete these two comments.

I see potential here. While I have a ton of JLU, there are some subsets of the DCU which are not well represented by the line. One of those is the Titans / Teen Titans / Young Justice. Since IH is slightly smaller than JLU, I could see picking up the Titans characters in this line.
.
In IH, we have Nightwing, Flash III, Starfire, Raven, modern Wonder Girl, Supergirl. Cyborg and Arsenal/Red Arrow are supposedly coming. That leaves us:

Beast Boy
Donna Troy
Tempest
Jericho
Kyle Rayner Green Lantern

Robin
Superboy
Impulse / Kid Flash
Blue Beetle
Static

That would make a nice set of Titans.
I’ll make that my current want list for this line.

I was thinking that after they do Secret Wars, the next comic 2-pack series could be Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, each figure being a classic A-list character paired with somebody more obscure.

Clutch Sat, 02 May 2009 10:05:43 +0000 http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/blog/?p=1930#comment-5348 My three top picks are longtime B-listers Jack of Hearts, Nighthawk, and Stingray. The classic versions as seen in the original Marvel Universe Handbooks, natch.

Hawkeye is also a must have right now. I can’t believe they did Clint Barton as Ronin before getting to Hawkeye.

Bug.

Bug?

BUG!

That would be AWESOME! I’m totally on board with that choice. And he’d be life-sized!

Great post, Jeff.

Didn’t the Toybiz Marvel Legends (first couple of waves) run about $9.99 when they first appeared? Drop the price Hasbro! This is ridiculous!

But I think that ship has sailed. The days of getting a figure for $6 are long gone. And don’t mention JLU. I will never understand why they have such devotion! They don’t stand and they have very little articulation. I’m glad so many people enjoy them but I never saw the appeal.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:51:42 +0000 http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/blog/?p=1930#comment-5327 I always thought it was funny how much Bug and Ambush Bug look alike. I’m not collecting the MU line, but if they make a Bug figure I’ll buy it. He’ll just be ‘deluxe armor Ambush Bug’ in my collection.

I used to think he and the Armadillo were just the coolest damn characters around.

Peace,

Chip

On it, Dr. Strange and Mar-vell are high on my list. I still think a toy line based on a Skrull invasion needs a Skrull soldier.

Bug would be cool as would Commander Rann and Marionette. I don’t think they could make Baron Karza and Acroyear but any Micronauts would be cool.

Until then, I’ll have to keep my collection on the Target pegs and hope no one buys them.
