    Well the DCU figures stand on my shelf, whereas the Marvel Legends have a tendency to fall over and off quite frequently
    Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!

      DC Universe are far Superior ..., inreguards to the fact that they do not get loose like so many of the Legends did and do.

      The Legends have had far better Build a Figures though ...
      The Sentinal, which was the 1st to display this concept, is still the Best 1 , imo and set the bar way high for anything that followed. DC Universe has yet to come out with something like that, but I feel a C&C Anti-Monitor might be around the corner, which I hope is a big. Giantman and Fing Fang Foom are also Fantastic Pieces.

      I like the Paint Aps on the Universe figures better too. For the Most part, The Legends seemed rushed once they started going.

      But the Legends offered really large characters like Juggernaut and Hulk for 10 bucks a piece, where I do not think the Universe would have, unless they were C&C's.

      Being more so DC than Marvel, I like the DC Universe figures better.
      And in ways, ... The line reminds me of the Super Powers figures from the 80's , put to the 5 power so to speak. And not just The Super Powers theme figures , just Everything is an extreme upgrade of my toys from yester yr.

        Marvel Legends depict the best action figures ever made in the 6 inch format for the Marvel Universe heroes. DCUC is the like for the DC Universe heroes. They are both Major League. One is the American League and the other is the National League. You just tip the scale to your favorite League...

          I agree with blacknight the ML's just dont stand well for the most part, but the build a figures are superior in most cases, the fin fang foom and sentinel ROCK! Although I do love the kilowog and I just got validus and although I dont know much about him he is cool looking, giganta is a bad *** as well

              Now many of you know I am a die hard Marvel guy...... but I gotta go with the D.C.U. figs. As it pained me to say that much, that's all I'm gonna say.

                          I like them both, but both lines sure had/have distribution problems. I have yet to complete C&C on the DCU line. ML had some great accessories too. Also at $13 a figure, DCU is way too expensive.

                            they also have variants for deadpool in his xmen uniform and warpath. the other set is winter soldier and variant black widow in grey or black jumpsuit.

                              I suck. I didn't know any of this. Is Deadpool in his Black/Grey Uniform ? .... I've been waiting to complete my X-Force line for a long while. Warpath in his "Thunderbird" suit sounds Fantastic.

                              I do got the 3&3/4 inch Warpath. Only saw him once, and Snagged him.

                              Edited ...
                              I just saw them on ebay.
                              People are trying to get bank for the Box Sets.
                              However, Loose figures seem to be more so reasonable.
                              Pass on the Variant Warpath. It's just a repaint, ... and looks really nothing like that suit imo.
