Thou we have been getting pretty random figures lately.
Obviously, Spider-man sells, so we get more females (Ashley Barton, really? I like the figure, but I'm shocked) , and villains seem to popping up, which is awesome.
Avengers is a hot property right now, so we are getting more obscure characters (thou missing a few 70's/80's classics.
X-men are all pretty much done, whether good or bad ((except of course a couple females, errm, Polaris, Dazzler anyone?)
The ones that we old collectors are missing are the b-teams; like New Mutants, Alpha Flight, New Warriors, Defenders, and Thunderbolts, to name a few (yeah I like Runaways too, but they don't scream classic characters-Nico being the exception).; but I gotta say, I am more and more impressed with the sneaky random choices, Hasbro is putting out there.
Someone up there, knows their Marvel stuff. Machine Man, Misty Knight, Blizzard? Satana?!. Heaven. I think I cry a little when Medusa was announced.
Now I think the whole Marvel Universe is seen as a whole market (specially under Disney, never shy to milk the cow). So whomever catches the imagination of the people-above can make it into toy form. Which is exciting.
I for one, will relish the day when my favourite ginoid Jocasta is made, and I will buy them all and form an army, and you will all hate me. Or not....

I want an updated Scorpion, gambit. Also. A whizzer would be nice.
