Super7 grossly overcharges for mediocre figures with spotty quality control- it's not a valid comparison. Deep cuts are cool, but waves that are 80% deep cuts from the start of the line will tank it. Like, Weyoun is a good choice- important supporting character who has never had an action figure- great choice. More of a "medium cut." A good wave should have a few medium cuts, and one or two deep cuts, as well as a handful of... prominent cuts? AT least at the start of the line. While it's great for collectors to know that a line will go deep, it's also important to let them know that they'll be able to set up interesting displays that represent the series' and films. Like, it would be nice to know they'd actually get to all of the main characters from Voyager in their line, since no company since Playmates has. Like, Tuvix is cool, but you need to have Tuvok and Neelix to display with him.
