If you can get rid of the flames on the recent Ghost Rider figure's neck area, slap the head on there and boom.

"Hey, it's Halloween! Let's do a Beast-formers wave with Iron Man, Cap, Hulk, and Thor! It'll be GREAT!!" Could be a slippery slope to gimmick land. After all, the Legends line isn't considered to be a 'collectors' line...It's a 'play-line' aimed largely at children who could not care any less (for the most part; barring those few kids in the know). One change in Hasbro's upper-management could dramatically shift internal opinions on the matter. Considering the success they've enjoyed with the line, this scenario is doubtful. However, it becomes more possible the further you get from canon.

Nnnnno, I'm pretty sure that all the other Marvel lines are 'play-lines,' since they're the ones that have gimmicks. The Legends line is what it's always been, a collector-oriented (though, of course, marketed to a larger audience) toyline. At least, as far as Hasbro's handling of the line.

Otherwise, things like 'Hit Monkey' wouldn't have happened, for better or for worse.
