Ironman I'd almost say is the exception to the rule. So long as each variation is something true to the movie or comic. Ironman has so many different appearances and armor variations that it can work.

Batman doesn't. Cap doesn't. Spider-man sorta does but they don't take advantage of it as well as they should.

For Ironman, we're still missing Heroes Reborn and 90s modular alongside his newest armors like the GOTG one and black & gold.
For spider-man there's Superior Spider-man(still no MU scale figure!), Ben Reilly Spider-man, Noir Spider-man(still no figure!), Manga Spider-man, Iron Spider-man, Big Time Spider-man(still no MU figure!), Spider-man 2099 etc. Then work within the confines of those for variations. Like translucent pieces for Spider-man 2099 and miles morales Ultimate Spider-man.

If they'd stick to the variations that have reasons instead of complete action feature randomness or what have yous, they could be doing fine. Though I will concede that Ironman Assemblers were a good idea in concept, but they needed to be able to have elbows and knees with those swappable too like the current mash-up figures. I'm also slightly miffed at the no pepper potts figure. Especially after the badass scene she got in IM3. That figure would have moved cases outright.

Why no widow in cap's line either? She had as much of a role as Winter Soldier and Falcon! No Sam Jackson fury figure either. The key players are the ones that are supposed to have figures!

Why no goblin in the ASM2 line as well?

So while I do blame the bottle neck on retailers, there are some really wtf choices going on at the toy maker level too.
