I know this isn't MArvel Universe actual, but today I saw some of the Iron Man 3 Assemblers, and they look pretty bad. You can switch arms and legs with different figures, so the idea is if you have enough of them you can make totally customizable armors. I just don't really see the point. They don't even have knees and elbows.

Long time for me, too.
And yeah, I'm really disappointed with these. It seems like they've replaced the standard action figures with the Assemblers, which is total BS to me because it's more money for less articulation. I'm content with the universal 3.75" figure line, and with Iron Man 2 they came with nice little display stands. However, I experienced horrible distribution in my area and I only really saw the first wave...which has remnants sitting on the pegs at my local Target as we speak. I really hope Hasbro comes out with a regular series soon. I guess I get the customization...but they just look mismatched if you trade parts.

Same here. I was able to get a few IM2 figures that I wanted off BBTS.

The IM2 line has some terrific figures in it. I understand the custom armor gimmick of the IM3 line, but yeah, I imagine it's just going to look terribly mismatched in the end.
MU related, yesterday I found a Blaastar. He's got translucent hand and forearms, but his card picture shows them being painted.Not sure if this means there's a variant out there.

That guy is so poseable.
Dagon wrote:Man, I like that white Doom so much, but I can't justify TRU comic pack prices. Or comic pack prices in general. I think it was last summer I got the Thanos and Mr. Sinister comic packs (they were two seperate ones, not like those guys in the same pack) at Walmart for I think $14 and that was the only reason I'd bought them. At that time they were $5 cheaper than Target prices, and I can't even tell you what TRU charges.
So, I've never really been in to the MU variant hunting, how 'rare' are variants, and does that make it worth keeping Blaastar sealed, since I haven't had a chance to open him up yet.

But I've got about 90%+ of this lines main standard figures, not counting variants. If you could get it on a peg then I most likely have it.
It's a solid line!! One I really like, even more so now that they are expanding into a few more C list characters. Darkhawk, Cloak&Dagger for example.
Waiting on Man-Thing!!

When you say 4" do you mean 3.75" or are they doing a full on 4" line now?
