Most of the times when companies present ideas for licensed products, if that company has their stuff together, they will often have several waves planned out in advance. Sota Toys had this strategy when they approached Capcom years ago for their Street Fighter line, offering obscure characters and fan favorites in every wave for at least the first three or four waves. Capcom argued with their character choices at times (there was a famous dispute over the addition of Sodom in wave 1...) but Sota assured them that this was the best strategy to not burn out the line too quickly, and they took it one step forward by allowing fans to vote on which characters they wanted in future waves, allowing them to be flexible with their release schedules.

I'd like to see a couple of family packs, one featuring the Briggs family (Jax and Jacqui), and of course the Cages (Cassie, Sonya, and Johnny.) Make the family packs con exclusives, since Jax and Cage figures have tended to peg-warm in the past, and this would help to alleviate that a bit (although I'd buy that Briggs family pack in a heartbeat, since Jax was a main of mine in MK9.) Follow that up with a singles figure wave of Reptile, Ermac, and Mileena. After that, you would have gotten out a bunch of the highly requested fan favorites, and Mezco will hopefully be able to release a wave concentrating on the newer characters, and then a "Shaolin Monks" two pack (Lui Kang and Kung Lao) to finish it out. You might not get every character in the game, but you will have certainly released a good portion of them by then with most of the fan favorites being covered.
