I know that it is Moonstone posing as Ms. Marvel, but it is still Ms. Marvel at the end of the day. And, I already have that version by combing the modern and classic Ms. Marvels.

I just would have expected them to be a little more inspired if they are going to give fans a voting choice. Oh well.

Fans also complained about this though.
They have to get a subscription to get one figure that's unique.
I do agree I'd like more random variety of new characters. But with the choices they have with what's going on right now in marvel. Seems appropriate enough for now.

Archangel was a fan poll winner, so he must be loved by fans, and they haven't slotted his repaint in for a wave yet anyway apparently.

Osborn and Hammer are all over Marvel right now, and Hammer is even the forefront of 2010 waves.

Dark Ms. Marvel... No clue here honestly, she seems like a random choice. Considering her head and hair can be re-used for Black Cat though, maybe that seems fitting since her two other versions of costumes are available on shelves and always sell well. So they wanted to see how fans would react to her instead of a complete unique character they can make more money off of in stores. (IE Black Cat to replace her would have been an awesome idea, BUT! Then she wouldn't be on store shelves where she could sell like wildfire.) Dark Ms. Marvel's mask is also the open eyed one, not the eyeless white variety like normal ms. marvel.

The problem is: They need a character who fans will want, isn't obscure, and won't harm their character wave rosters for later.
Personally I was planning to skip archangel in favor of the X-Force costume. So this makes that more expensive for me now.
