You also have to understand that even though collectors may not like it (even loathe it), it is a common practice in the toy industry and it's not just Hasbro. You only have to gaze over at the Mattel section of the aisle to see that (DCUC was practically built around the concept). Or even the Lego/Building Block aisle. Talk about reusing parts.

I don't care about that. I probably didn't make myself clear. I don't care about the fact that it's a re-used mold. Obviously I don't expect them to resculpt 50 different bodies from scratch for 50 heroes who have similar body types. Otherwise, I'd never buy any toy, ever. It's the fact that we get a re-used mold that's the exact same character with a minor repaint.

There's no doubt that we have 3 Cyclops figures that are the exact same version of Cyclops all with the same body mold and even the era is pretty much the same. Spider-man, WOW. Modern Thor. Reusing Doc Samson's head on Thor... yeah, that's a bit lazy. Iron Man figures with arc reactor variations... Won't even go there. I don't even care when they reuse a mold and it's suitable and a different character, at least we get someone new. Like when they used Union Jack for the Hydra Soldiers. They look good enough. It's a generic mask. I can deal with that.
