I recall my mother brings up once in a blue moon, when she bought me the "black spider-man" and the " Pink Spider-man" ( baron Zemo ) back in the 80s when the original secret wars toys came out. that goes to show you people whom ARE NOT comic knowledgeable don't have a clue have to who alot of these guys are. i mean we all do but we're all fans and collectors of this series of toys.

I think in order to get these in mass retail they have to anchor it with well known, well liked characters. I'm guessing at the end of the day they know they still gotta sell to kids to get into places like Target/Wal-Mart etc.

I'm a little worried about this abomination wave, I could see stores over-ordering it for the holidays, based on how well the x-men wave will do, and then being stuck with it like they have been with Odin wave since there really isn't a stand out kid figure (cap maybe?)
