He had a couple of variants and also came in a 3 pack with Supergirl and Wonder Girl as well as the Public Enemies boxset, Doomsday boxset and the vs Lexcorp boxset just to name a few. Okay, Dr. Doom a kid miiiiiiiight buy. Fantastic Four isn't exactly popular with the kiddos anymore. Magneto I can kind of see. But Ultron and Absorbing Man? Do they even know who these guys are?

I think most of us are so on edge now with this series that we're actually getting a little bit irritable that the slightest annoyance (this latest Wave) is going to piss us off. After all the complaining we've been doing about too many Wolverines, Iron Mans and Spider-Mans, for them to give us a new wave where EVERY figure has already been released once by this line, two of which are the very ones that people are constantly complaining about, it's like getting kicked in the teeth really hard. It almost seems deliberate, you know? Like they read these forums and decided, "Let's make them really mad..." I mean what does the development team do at Hasbro? LOL. "Hmmm, let's come up with this month's line." "Ok, let's repaint Wolverine again and put a new head on him." "Genius! Any other ideas?" "Take the Absorbing Man figure and put the mud on the other side of his body." "Great idea, Nick!!" "Gosh Fred, this might be a little crazy but how about we swap out Magneto's torso?" "Right on the money! We need something new, though..." "Iron Man?" "Bingo!" Filler Wave is right...

But what you're forgetting is that in EVERY Q and A one website would be like

"Where is our Astonishing Wolverine?"

"What happened to the maskless Ironman?"

"Will we be getting more First Class Figures?"

"The Daredevil mold sucks, will Magneto/Daredevil/others be redone at sometime?"

We asked all of these questions in such a RABID manner that they actually took heed and are doing it.

I have to be a total asshole and say, for those of who don't like this wave:

1) Wait for SDCC to make a decision then. All this speculation is driving us nuts. For example, if you knew this time last year that in Febuary 2011, we would be getting a Cyclops, we would be pissed because we would figure he would be the crappy Cyclops we all have 4 of. But instead, TA DA, they surprised. Just wait to see what it is.

2) If you still really don't like this wave after seeing it, then all I can say is don't keep begging Hasbro to make figures. With the exception of Absorbing man, we've all pushed to get these figures through the Q and A. And we can sit here and complain how the figures are disproportional in their Famous/Obscure figures, but this wave is clouding ALL of the other good stuff they have given us this year (Guardians of the Galaxy set is a huge under the table hand shake to comic book people more then kids)
