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.
Artist77, while I would love to see all those figures released, I partially have to agree with Tarquinius in that half of these suggestions have never seen a figure and probably never will. While this is my opinion only, only a fraction of those deserve a figure before the rest. There's definitely a hierarchy. For example, Baron Zemo, Baron Strucker, Kang, Rogue, Abomination, Sandman, Hercules, Ares, Marvel Boy, Beast, Scarlet Witch, Emma Frost over Hulkling, Wiccan, Cloud 9, Bob, Alchemist. Kids won't even know who these guys are. Most kids don't read comics anymore. If they don't appear in a movie or cartoon, they won't know. Whether or not a figure will sell is still a factor and in all fairness, Kang will sell based on the fact that he will complete Secret Wars, Zemo and Strucker have been in the spotlight recently with the Avengers cartoon, a lot of those will sell on a casual collector level but a lot of them will only be popular to hardcore collectors. I can see half of those suffering from Multiple Man syndrome. Befitting his name, there are multiples of Multiple Man on the shelves at every shop I've been to, especially the Walmarts. Walmart seems to LOVE bringing in the Multiple Men...
