Marvel Universe Fury Files are out

Not sure if anyone posted but I didn't see it.

Found them today at TRU. They only had Iron man, Spiderman, X-Force Wolverine, and Torch left. Got IM of course. But went on TRU.com and they had the others so I got Stealth Iron man as well. They look okay but for the 7.99 price tag, I'll be passing on the rest.

I also spotted the Wolverine and the X-Men figures. Same deal, not impressive for the cost but okay.

XBOX Live tag - IM Stark

What a rip-off. On a side-note, TRU has the new Icons as Coming Soon.

I don't think there is a MU discussion thread, and therefore in the interest of burying ToyArk.com spam, I nominate this thread, and bump it! Oh, and add to the discussion.

Rip-off? Please elaborate.

I think MU figures are just as high quality as GI Joes. They are certainly better quality than the not-so-hot DC Infinite heroes figures. They're also only $1 more than the DCIH, at least at the stores where they've been sighted so far (Meijer and TRU).

Personally I am really looking forward to wave 2, I think that they need more villains though. Seriously, only Bullseye and Green Goblin in the first TWO waves? What the heck?

...? Are you looking at the same figures I am? Also, if anyone is an offender for no accessories, it is DEFINITELY DCIH, the only figure I've seen with any accessories is Green Arrow, and if he didn't have his bow, he wouldn't be freaking Green Arrow!

Spider-Man: Webbing and filecard, etc.
Iron Man: Repulsor Blast, filecard, etc.
Black Panther: Halberd (and he doesn't even USE one really!), and filecard, etc.
Wolverine: Gun and Muramasa katana (again, doesn't really use the gun much does he? but he still has it!) and... you get the idea with the etc.s.
Daredevil: Nunchaku
Human Torch: Flame thingy
Punisher: Rifle, Bazooka/Rocket Launcher, and Pistol
Silver Surfer: Surfboard
Bullseye: Gun and shiv/knife
Green Goblin: Goblin Glider and Pumpkin Bomb
Captain America: Shield
Ronin: Sword and Nunchaku
Iron Fist: plasticy Irony Fisty thingy
Hulk & Grey Hulk: Nothin'

So... two whole figures without any accessories makes for a line that has "no accessories in many cases"? Oops.

Why are you catching feelings?

Compare the accessories to GI JOE from the same company. I'd happily pay 8.99 for these if the came with a stand and interchangeable heads or the repulser blasts/webbing/energy thingies.

The accessory distribution amongst characters are inconsistent in the line and this is why people view them as rip offs.

DCIH comes with nothing and are 6.99 in my area. These are 8.99.

8.99? When was that said? In his post, on TRU.com and every other place they are $7.99. Wanna talk rip-off. Have you seen the DCIH sculpts? Those should be $3 maybe $4 at most.

Got Iron Man and Wolverine, Iron Man's right knee swivel(not the hinge, but the part that rotates above the knee ball) is loose! On mine that is.

Neat figures, ab motion on these is far superior to that on the 25th joes. Quality wise, these blow away Superhero Showdown. These blow away DCIH by a long shot.
