Including their own toylines, there has been 65 Iron Man toys, 6 of Cyclops, 19 Thors, 20 Captain America toys, 34 Wolverine toys and 69 figures of Spider-Man, give or take a few miscalculations, based on Wikipedia lists for the current and recent toylines. 213 figures of 6 characters in, what, 2 or 3 years? If we take the average for 3 years, every MONTH we have received SIX figures of these characters, BASED ON MATHEMATICAL AVERAGE. That's a wave EVERY MONTH that could have been of the list above.

Food for thought.

I agree that there has been an imbalance with the distribution of who is getting made into a toy.

However, look at this in perspective of where ML in it's lineup in it's 3rd yr. Give or take a few oddities (didn't have winter soldier, they had Zemo etc etc), its kind of proportional.

Yes the line was produced by another company and then transfered to a different one, which COULD explain the remake issue. But the fact of the matter is is that half of those figures you listed above never have been made in ANY LINE.

And it is important to remember that if we want to see those figures one day made in plastic that the line stay healthy. Now we can definitely debate what constitutes healthy for a line, and some of it is definitely out of there control (prices are set by the stores as well as distribution). But they are covering their backs by not putting out an obscure wave after obscure wave. While the fan base will eat it up, it has no kid appeal.

Eventually the line COULD get to where DCIH was where 75% of the figures only meant something to the comic book/toy collector enthusiasts, and it was impossible for a kid to find Superman.

BTW as a side note, There is no way in hell Magneto will be a repaint. Again....the Daredevil mold is retired (which he used). They will use a new one.
