I love that they keep bringing up MCU figures supposedly peg warming like I can't walk into any Target store and find an entire palette of King Cobras.

Never gonna happen. Walgreens knows their customer base, which is why for the most part, their exclusives tend to be relatively notable characters. The deepest cut they ever did was Namor, who didn't move very well.

They went with the Fantastic Four because they're the Fantastic Four, and they went with the ill-fated Medusa because of the Inhumans TV show (before they realized it was going to bomb). Ditto characters like Agent Venom and Ant-Man. They aren't gonna take a risk on characters who 99 percent of people probably have never heard of, especially not more expensive, giant-sized ones.

I know people complain about certain classic characters not being made yet, but the answer is almost always: because Hasbro doesn't think there's a market for it. Look at the list of characters you just posted - the potential amount of people going into Walgreens and buying extra-priced figures of characters like Titanium Man, Ch'od, the Champion of the Universe or Strong Guy is extremely low.
