I wouldn't judge the Marvel line based only on those two figurines.  No way would I have spent as much as I have on these little buggers if they weren't well detailed or constructed.  Take a look at M.O.D.O.K., Ka-zar, Machine Man, The Thing, Thor and Odin, just to name a few.

Matt, I seen quite a few of the Marvels that you mentioned close up, and they just didn't strike me as characters that I was interested in, or as "must haves".   Pretty sad, since I was more of a fan of Marvel than DC.

Not the Moonstar I remember. She's built like a dude!

I agree. It's because the shoulders are much wider than the hips. It's not the pose... she has male proportions.

Would only have been interested if she was in her school uniform.  Don't care for this.

She was never so busty, either.

As a follow-up, my LCS took back the Northstar & Aurora set with the popped off hand and will see if it can be exchanged for another one from Diamond.

I just Super Glue any thing that comes off. It's worked good so far. I finally got Invisible Woman and her darn glove & hand part had come off. No worries, just put it back on and you can't even notice.

Thanks for advice Brad!  The LCS staff offered to try and exchange it, so I'm going that.

Our cleaning ladies have broken off pieces of several figurines when they move them to dust.  Needless to say, I don't have them dust there anymore!  Took the time to finally super glue them last week and they look fine.  Just a pain in the ass to do especially Wasp back on the shoulder of Yellowjacket!
