>>8053642Civilian outfits have been in demand for a long time. As has a daredevil on a non-Bucky cap body. This wave will sell like gangbusters, so I’m sure we’ll see a second one anyway. And honestly half of these figures you missed out on we’re just that: you missed out on them. Sure, Hobgoblin, Sandman, Rhino, good fucking luck. But Mysterio isn’t super hard to find on eBay for $30 if you’re stubborn (there was one on BST a few days ago) and he’s also rumored as a single pack figure separate from the wave anyway. And Kraven was an easy get, just sell the black suit figure. Vulture is out now, and he’s not impossible to find.
The Spider-Man waves have to be padded out with b-listers, otherwise they’d make one wave with all the popular villains, and people like you would show up two years after the fact and whine that Hasbro already released all the villains and now they’re impossible to get.
X-men are only being made because they sell. Maybe the recent AoA wave is hit or miss, and the Deadpool waves usually sit and garner some genuine complaints, but other than that, you’ll see two waves a year, max. Spider-Man has had two waves every year since 2014. X-Men just gets more attention. This year we’re seeing three spider-man waves, maybe four, and x-men only have two.
Fantastic four Wave is a matter of opinion. It’s either mostly filler, because you don’t give a shit about modern stuff, so all four and she Hulk suck. Or it’s no filler at all, because you want all six and the BAF, which is because Hasbro can’t sell FF to the levels they can Spidey. Spidey has to be paced out, FF only gets one chance to shine otherwise retailers won’t stock them. They’re still skeptical because the movie figures way back when bombed so badly.
