Marvel characters are better than DC characters

More Marvel to talk about.  Not enough DC figures have been released in the U.S.  And also, Eaglemoss has done a better job selecting Marvel characters than DC's.

It's a simple reason for me; money and space.  I've already spent nearly $1,000 on the 80 Marvel figurines I have (at an average of $12 a pop not including specials).  I also have a nice place to finally display them.  The DC figurines are really cool for the most part, and I'd love to focus on the Batman family, but I don't have the space nor the inclination to spend even more money starting an entire line from scratch.  So I'm just getting the Marvel figurines for now. 

If the DC figurine line was released first, however, I'd be forced to buy the Marvel line because those are the characters I am not only most familiar with, but the ones that hold a special place in my heart that make it impossible for the DC characters to compete.

And yet more money still in my pocket at the end of the day.  Looks like a Super Glue Special.

Not "something like" but really Mephisto's son.  Loved that Nocenti run on DD and thought this character, designed by JRjr, was a ton of fun.  I'll check the sculpt when I see it and then decide if I want it.

…Mephisto's son…

Have you ever noticed that comicbook characters seem to have no idea of
safe sex these days? In the Marvel Universe, I'd be afraid to sit next to a
woman of child bearing age on a bus!!

Well, kinda - JRJR redesigned Mephisto to look something like that for this run.

Okay, if EM intend to release Blackheart, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't come up with Sasquatch, Terrax or Box !!!

I remember seeing this guy in a story drawn by JrJr featuring Wolverine, Ghost Rider and the Punisher. I haven't seen him elsewhere ever since ...
