It's possible that they might have been on a short list since the initial R&D on that wave was done, but I have to say it feels a little too much like romanticism/wishful thinking to assume Hasbro's been carrying a torch for old Toy Biz ideas this long (especially with Vonner out of the picture).

I think it's far more likely that they just got new figures because some of those characters are associated with [currently] popular franchises.

Technically, that would have been Toy Biz disappointing you with cancelling those figures. Hasbro had not yet acquired the rights to Marvel Legends at that time.

Always give credit where credit is due; the same should also apply to blame.
