Speaking as a foreigner and with purely selfish reasons, I have to say I really don't like the idea of this at all.

I don't want to repeat all the usual stuff about how hard it is to get the retail figures in the UK, (let alone exclusives) but the price for FunPub's Transformers Collectors Club and the Joe Club is beyond ridiculous for international members. I know postage isn't cheap but its nearly double the US membership fee. I haven't checked to see what MattyCollector charge, but I can't see it being much better, if they even do international membership.

I was beyond p*ssed that Baron Zemo, a figure I've wanted from the start of the line (since Toybiz Marvel Legends to be exact) was revealed as an SDCC exclusive. If every one of my more wanted characters became exclusives in one form or another, it would mean I would have to look to eBay and Scalper Central, costing me several times what they orignally 'sold' for. I'd probably start thinking of giving up on the line.

As it is I will almost certainly never own an 'official' 616 Nick Fury, X-Force Archangel or Maria Hill for this very reason.

And as Jason Abbadon said; if Figure A is made by repainting Figure B with a Figure C head, and the end result sucks, that figure has been made, it can be crossed off the list and wont get another (possibly better) version at retail or otherwise.

What if they made a figure from repainted Avengers or Spider-man figures? Would you want to be forced to pay for that?

Please leave them at retail.
