I received a few of the newer Marvel Universe figures today (Modern Thor, Extremis Iron Man, Black Widow, and Luke Cage), and I have to say that although the line has had some quality problems with sculpts/paint, these four figures (at least my samples) all look really well done. I was very impressed with each of them, and I hope it is a sign of things to come for this line. I know a lot aren't necessarily into this line much, and I was/am considering slowing down somewhat too, but I think this recent wave took a nice jump in quality compared to much of the first year of the line.
