Sad that the toy companies are likely to blame the fact that kids don't want yet another Captain America on the license and film tie-in concept, rather than the fact that every wave they release 3 variants of the hero and none of the figures people would actually want. The BAFs also don't appeal to kids, since parents are unlikely to buy an entire wave for their children, especially at $20 a figure.

BAFs are for collectors. Collectors don't want 3 versions of Steve Rogers. Kids don't want 3 versions of Steve Rogers.

Use a more diverse cast of characters, even if they only appeared for a minute in the film, or are just "inspired by the motion picture", it's a better way to get collectors in. Or, heaven forbid, use the characters from the comics, like the awesome ASM2 series, whose most wanted characters are, funnily enough, comic renditions.
