I always wondered how Marvel got away with giving Jubilee that faux-Robin outfit for so long. One issue as parody, sure, but it lasted for around 5 years of publication time.

Jack Of Hearts is a big solid yes! Not so much with either Gladiator or Jubilee.

Gladiator is the kind of character I was fascinated with when I was a child, because I knew about him, but never had the chance to read a Daredevil story involving this villain. I will definitely pick up that one, as well as jack of Hearts.

Got the Watcher - man that should come with some health warning. You get hit by that head and you'll know about it. Fantastic figure - one of my faves.

I noticed that the Marvel Figurine Collection outperforms the DC thread 117 pages to 35.
Why ?

Yes.
I just checked and around the time the DC thread was starting, the Marvel one had
already 50 pages.
117 minus 50 = 67
The Marvel Figurine Collection thread still seems hotter than its DC counterpart.
