Marvel UA Question: "Action Figures"?
I'm playing through Marvel UA on Easy and I've stumbled across a couple of "action figures" (1/5 of Daredevil and 1/5 Black Panther so far). I'm avoiding flipping though the Brady Games guide for answers as I'm trying to avoid spoilers so hoping someone here can tell me how to access pics of these "figures" from the menus.

These action figures are Easter Eggs of sorts. If you pick up 5 of the same figure, then it unlocks that character as playable. I don't believe you can actually view the figures in the menus anywhere.

Black Panther ended up as one of my most-played characters, so it's worth finding the figures to see if you like the character.
Anyone else excited about the new characters coming? I am, but do not think the price is justified. We should be getting more game/levels for that price, not just characters and achievements:

I'll likely be a sucker and bite though.

WOW! That is awesome news!! My brother and I played through this game and talked about how awesome it would be to have more characters to choose from. Too bad there's still no Gambit or Punisher but Venom, Hulk and Nightcrawler is pretty effin awesome! Can't wait for that!

Definately looking forward to those characters. I've never paid for download content before, but that's pretty cool even if there aren't any extra levels with it. For God's sake, how hard would it have been to at least give us comic missions for every character?

If I get this, I will likely try and convince some friends to do some co-op at my house a couple nights to go through it again.

I wonder what new teams the downloads will give us? One obvious one is Hulk/Wolverine/Spider-Man/Ghost Rider as the New Fantastic Four (from the Walt Simonson/Arthur Adams story of 15 or so years ago).
Hulk/Dr. Strange/Iceman/Hawkeye could be the Defenders, although Hawkeye was only on the team for one story arc and Iceman wasn't on the team at the same time as any of the others.
Oh my god -- I've lapsed into Nerd talk, haven't I?

Edited to add: For those other than the OP who wants the locations....
Locations for:
Daredevil: http://forums.xbox.com/7704260/ShowPost.aspx
Black Panther: http://forums.xbox.com/7700907/ShowPost.aspx
I want them both but I'm too lazy to go back through this game right now. I have Ac's for both but I'm not sure how many.
Question: I know BP and DD are availlable for the 360 version. However, I'm confused about Silver Surfer. Is he or is he not available for the 360 unlock? Some stuff I read seems to say he is, but I thought he was only for other system versions?

The Silver Surfer may be the toughest unlockable ever. Yikes.
Since this has become a MUA Q&A, I have a question : What should you do later in the game when your inventory is full and you beat a boss or sub-boss who drops something? Should you sell a lower-valued item and pick up the new one? I don't see another solution since there isn't a storage cache in this game.

On a side note, I finally finished the game this weekend, and I'm glad they have a "new game +" option. Also liked the "What if" part at the end. I knew I should've chosen Jean instead of Kurt...

Remember if you use any codes to unlock everything you disable earning any achievements in your game unless you completely erase the save and start over from scratch.

My team included Cap, the Surfer, Dr. Strange and a rotating cast that included the Human Torch, Thor, Iron Man and Spider-Man. That team could cut through any mess quickly.

Supposedly any code will axe them. I can attest to the fact that a code to unlock all the costumes for a particular character does disable the achievements (from what i saw when i rented the game).

I think you're right...

This is probably because the codes to unlock them came as "exclusives" for certain stores... I think one was Target and one was EBGames. Here are the codes, by the way:
(enter on the character selection screen, you'll here a sound when it's done correctly)
Unlock Daredevil left, left, right, right, up, down, up, down
Unlock Silver Surfer down, left, left, up, right, up, down, left
(enter on the character selection screen, you'll here a sound when it's done correctly)
Unlock Daredevil left, left, right, right, up, down, up, down
Unlock Silver Surfer down, left, left, up, right, up, down, left

Thoughts?
