Or whoever the new X-Men are in Apocalypse if Captain America 3 ends up kind of sparse again. The Winter Soldier line right now is basically Falcon, Black Widow, Bucky, and then a bunch of Cap variants.

Another point in the MCU dedicated full line point is that it allows them to do figures for the upcoming Netflix series too under that banner. They are all part of the greater MCU with Agents of SHIELD and Deathlok, so that'd be perfect to help round out some of the space needed and helps kids and collectors alike get a hold of those characters for their movie universe figures.

With X-Men and Fantastic 4 allegedly being the same universe alongside the potential of Fox doing their own expanded TV series, a dedicated Fox Marvel Cinematic line would make sense too. (Plus I doubt some of the solo films coming up will have large offerings. Gambit's movie line, if his movie does get off the ground, I doubt will be a major toy seller other than his figure. Even his figure itself would seem odd without the rest of the Cinematic X-Men team to go with it or other cinematic influenced characters. So a broad label makes more sense overall. Cause Gambit without Rogue is weird, and they've yet to introduce a cinematic X-23. With Channing Tatum allegedly in that role now instead of Taylor Kitsch, it feels out of place for the Hugh Jackman Wolverine figure too.

Here's hoping they fix the amazing spider-man articulation on figures with the third film since it might have Black Cat. Definitely want a good articulated figure of her for my movie figure collection. This will also really help for when the Sinister 6 movie gets moving, ditto to Venom's spin-off.

Keeping them separate like that based on which studio is doing who for the combined cinematic for them alleviates a lot of the rights stress/confusion too. May even make it easier for kids and audiences at large to know who goes where.

X-Men cinematic parts could really come in handy overall too for future figures. I'm still keeping my figures crossed we might see some more Academy X/New X-Men among other mutants as the Fox movies continue to progress and expand out beyond the 3 recognizable that most are sick of by now anyway. (Cyclops, Jean, & Wolverine, there are wayyyyyy more X-Men than those 3, so why not give the others more appearances already! Okay Wolverine still has 2-3 more stories to be told, but Jean and Cyclops are overplayed at this point. The best thing the movie did was off them to open the door for others to appear and have the focus.)
