>>5887163I collected them way back when Media Play was still in business (yeah, I'm old). This was either before or right after Marvel Legends started. Anyway, back then, there were two kinds of Marvel Selects, statues with a joint or two and actual action figures. The action figures were beyond anything else we had. The statues, meh, but both came with some pretty decent display pieces. I have Doctor Doom and he had an actual throne to sit on. Plus removable hands, something you didn't really see until Figma/Figuarts took off.
So these days, I think they're totally outclassed by Marvel Legends, unless it's a larger figure like the Hulk. The biggest disappointment for me was AoU Black Widow who just turned out really pale to the point that I preferred the ML version. But at their price point, they are still a decent value because the articulation is fairly standardized and you still get the base pieces that were stripped from ML.
