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.

Picked up The Watcher today and here he is next to Galactus and the Human Torch so you can judge the scale:

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.
