A slightly more modern version seen on applications to various things is sometimes they will put Oriental instead of Chinese.

Also, our Asians are also known as black, alongside people of African or Caribbean heritage. Those referred to as African American, here would be known as West Indian in most cases.

Hope that clears up any doubt that most likely didn't even exist and that no one even inquired about. I apologise as there is absolutely zero news for Marvel in my scale as HASBRO has completely dropped the ball on half Marvel collectors. Wish they had more and I wasn't typing about our semi racist UK ethnic group labels.
lol

...no, I didn't inquire, but I find this incredibly interesting and I'm glad you shared that.

...I feel your pain. The level of neglect shown to your scale is criminal. If it's any consolation, six inch Marvel 'canon' figures will eventually trail off giving way to the slow creeping death that is the the far-more-commercially-recognizable 'MCU-TOY.' Yes, I'm blaming the expanding MCU budget for the ruination of the 3.75" figs and my prognostication of the demise of comic canon figs within the 6" line is founded on the selfsame theory, which is in-turn...built completely on sand. I have no proof, nor evidence, but in this new-age and climate those considerations have become totally irrelevant. Wild conjecture, hackneyed and unsupportable stances now rule the day...and I'm running with it.

Toy-stradamus has spoken and I see doom...Doom...DOOM, I TELL THEE!
