Well I did a little shopping today and found the new Marvel 3 3/4" line of figures today at both Sherway Walmart and Square 1 Walmart. Square 1 also had the DC figures.
Here is the price: $7.92 for the DC figures. $9.92 for the Marvel figures.
DC: While I am not that impressed by the figures and articulation, they are pretty good overall. Barely worth the $8 price tag. Although a great selection of characters. I only saw Joker, Black Lightning, Spectre, Dr. Fate and Superman. But on the back I must have missed, Wildcat, Star Sapphire, Question, Scarecrow, Batman, Nightwing, GCPD officer. So die hard fans will love them, but I probably will only go for the characters I really love.
Marvel: Ok, $10 is a bit much, but these are some great figures. Comparing them to the DC figures shows you just how much better they are. The selection of charcters in wave 1 is a bit puzzling, but at least they didn't go all out in the first wave. The variants are apparently Stealth Iron Man and Human Torch in FF costume. This wave has a total of 12!!!! different figures. Yes a couple of variants, but overall 12 separate figs to get. This line looks great and I think Hasbro has another hit on their hands, especially one that can easily take over ML.
