I totally agree. The only thing I wish was tweaked is that Sue had a solid-colored arm. Other than that, this will be a hard set to beat. Although the accessories on the new Sue are pretty sweet.

But as I said before, Doom is too good to pass up and part of that is because all the Dooms we have are lacking. I can't say that for the rest of the F4, this She Hulk doesn't fill the niche for what I'd want for a remade She Hulk figure, and I still think the TB super Skrull holds up well. But again, YMMV.

I'm right there with 'ya. Doom is my only must-have of this wave. Would love to have the Super Skrull, but with him being the BAF, it doesn't seem like that's in the cards for me. Not sweating it, though.

That's not to mention a lack of video games and the like.

This is actually a really good point, and one that I think we may tend to overlook sometimes. I could understand them releasing a F4 wave of figures with a deeper character selection when the MCU finally gets around to releasing a movie. I'm happy that they're doing as much as they've done this past year ( and next ). It actually gives credence to the theory that Hasbro is pumping out as many "essentials" as possible while they still have the license. Not to say that they'll lose the Marvel license, but you never know.

Personally, I'm just happy to have a solid roster of what I consider to be the heavyweight characters of the Marvel Universe in figure form. Almost every essential character has been checked off my list.
