A line full of Wolverine, Iron Man, and Spiderman.....
Nah fuck that. Here's what I would do(serious story bro):
Make the following versions of Wolverine:
Death
Age Of Apocalypse
Tiger stripe
ASX/Civil War
Brown costume
ASX/Civil War like the Marvel Icons repaint that Hasbro made
ALL using a new, in-scale, Marvel Universe style buck
, After that, NO MORE WOLVERINE figures for a substantial amount of time. Shit, after that, no one would want any anyways as that list right there brahs, is golden. Because I made it. And I'm awesome. And you love it. And I do too.
For Iron Man:
Modular Armor
Modern Armor before Extremis
Holy shit...I think that's it. After that, no need to see Tony for a while. Shelves are STILL full of him. Hell they even have those incentive $2 off coupon ads still intact...even though the sale expired months ago! Why? NO ONE BOUGHT THESE!
The flaw of the Iron Man 2 line wasn't the toys, as they were actually decent for the most part, but the ROSTER! I mean hell, yeah Tony has a shit ton of armor but when you have a line that is full of %^&*()_ing repaint after repaint of Mark VI and Mark IV, shit gets old ya know? Kids can spot the redundancy too. Whiplash and the drones in wave 5? WHAT THE HELL?
The Comic Series tended to do a better job with rosters but since the movie ones took forever to sell, the Comic Series was more scarce..well moreso wave 3 and beyond. If you guys found them last summer, well GREAT, my ass didn't find them til like November or some shit. I heard all these stories like "man Hulkbuster won't move over here, we got tons of them!". Pshh yea in YOUR area. Someone said the same thing about comic Iron Monger and I didn't see that figure all that much.
I DID see a lot of that damn so called "Ultimate" armor repaint of the Mark IV.
Rant over. NOT! On to Spiderman. Make the following:
NEW body, red and blue, thigh swivels, and those damn rocker ankles(come the %^&* on Spiderman ISN'T the most fully articulated figure in MU? Are you kidding me, SPIDERMAN?)
NEW black Spiderman, same features as above.
New Spiderman 2099, same features as above
ARMORED Spiderman
Ditko based Spiderman
That's it. Then we don't need to see him for a while.
Kill off the Spiderman 3-3/4" line. It ain't selling, I think we all know why. Might as well kill it off and give the Marvel Universe line an expanded roster per wave. I am a genius.
Make Marvel Universe vehicles. Make them compatible with GI Joe.
Make an ALL NEW Captain America. The previous ones and the regular one in his own damn line don't cut it. Oh, and give him the shield that has PLASTIC straps. The elastic s%^&*( don't work, and the clips get loose. The elastic one that comes with movie Cap is %^&*(_ing brilliant. We need an ass kicking Captain America, bulked up but proportionate, with thigh swivels and rocker ankles.
Decimate elbrows and kneebros on the new Marvel Legends.
Make a new Hand ninja with thigh swivels, rocker ankles, no skirt, and scabbards this time.
Make a Punisher Captain America.
Make a box set of the core vol. 1 Ultimate Avengers: Cap, Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk. Why Iron Man? Come the %^&*( on NONE of us ever found him or his wave at retail(I think).
Make the initial waves full of new mold figures and balanced with villains. Iron Man and Wolverine lines suffered because most of the 1st waves were figures of Iron Man and Wolverine. What's the point of buying Wolverine if you have no one to fight him? WTF he's going to fight another version of himself?
If I ever fought myself myself would kick my ass. So see that s%^& wouldn't work and all of you know it.
Make movie line/tie-in figures IN SCALE TO MARVEL UNIVERSE. WTF why is this not happening to begin with? Kids LOVE TO mix and match figures of the same scale.
Hell if it takes a GI Joe repaint, repaint the damn Sky Striker as a SHIELD jet, and have it come with a generic ass SHIELD pilot, maybe a repainted Ace from GI Joe or something. WHY? Hell F-14's have shown up randomly in Marvel books and Joe fans would probably buy one anyways to boost up their ranks. WIN/WIN situation and hell I would buy some too. Hell I'd take a Rattler, Conquest X-30, I don't give a %^&*() those vehicles are cool.
Plus Hasbro isn't beyond cross pollination of molds in other lines. Nick Fury in the IM2 line used a GI Joe body and the XMO Wolverine line was going to have a repainted GI Joe vehicle from the 2002-06 years.
Besides there are some panels where Captain America rides a $%^&*(ing airplane only to leap off of it and punch someone in the tooth. How can I recreate that with no Marvel Universe vehicles?
Yeah. Sometimes I impress myself. Like with this post.
