A lot of these look really good.

Cyclops, Magneto, Mr. Fanstastic all look like improvements of previous versions.

Anybody seen images of the other releases for 2010 yet?

Wow, I can see what I'm going to be spending my money on. 8-O

Love the Secret Wars sets, all of them.

Enchantress and Ultron FTW! :-D Glad they're getting to Ultron so soon...was afraid the line would die out before he was made.

Glad to see the Iron Man movie line shifting to the new scale, too. Not that impressed with the Wal-Mart 2-packs. The Spidey line looks like another shelf-clogger, what with the usual umpteen different Spideys and scant villains.

But where's the 50-foot-tall MU Celestial figures? :lol:

Even better is that they aren't using the rabbit-looking Ultron design from ML a few years back.

These all look awesome but uh...where the hell is the beyonder? :)

repacks blah - but the new scupts are nice, glad I did not get the 80's Iron man yet as I'd like a spiderwoman / IM set

I'm more interested in these then the GI Joe offerings. War Machine, Rhino, Ultron, those are all must have figures for me.

I want that Spiderwoman... Mucho Grande. It's good to see that red headed Spiderwoman hasn't been forgotten.

Images of Jean Grey, Warpath, Sunfire, etc. I'm glad they went with this costume for Jean.

Me too. I'm almost out of GI Joe, and look for the MU figures a lot more than Joes.

These are pretty. Good. Nice brown Wolvie too. I know that it's just a repaint but still. The Jean Grey is nice as well. I wish they would release a bunch of the Jim Lee style X-Men.

Leave it to Hasbro to ramp up one offering just as I was looking forward to scaling back my spend on another.

Overall, I think they're doing about as good a job with Joe as they can right now, and walking the line between pleasing potential movie fans and collectors pretty deftly. I know I'll continue to pick up some stuff, which I wouldn't have thought I would do about three months ago. But the vast majority of it just wouldn't fit my 'verse. And I'm fine with that.

But now it looks like an arseload of cool Marvel stuff is coming down the pike. I could go broke on the Iron Man line alone. But the Secret Wars stuff is truly special (LOVE the Wrecking Crew and dearly hope we see the other two members).

Curse you Hasbro and your effective brand diversification!
