I'm in the minority here when I say I like the SM3 figures. I have bought a few and I have no qualms about the scale.I don't buy the figures with the "action features" but mostly the ones that have the super-poseable features.
Of course I'll pick up the ML Spidey 3 line as well (which is geared for collectors) but Hasbro has said that this line is GEARED towards kids and that's the main audience for these figures.
And Hasbro really does well with catering to and recognizing the importance of the collectors, their upcoming ML Spidey 3 line is acknowledging that and lets not forget how much they've put into the Star Wars line as well as continuing Marvel Legends even though they could just as easily can it.
Mattel sucks in all honesty.Yeah I won't deny that their DC Superheroes figures are well done and I have a few, but they like "playing it safe" and won't go to such lengths as increased articulation and recognizing the collectors like Hasbro has.Mattel's bread-and-butter is Hot Wheels and Barbie and outside of that they don't have to try very hard.
