Its not 2005 where Nightcrawler w/ a Galactus part and superior paint only cost 8.55 after taxes. I like the series, I just dont think it should be in retail. should be online.
That doesn't take into account that the last 6" Spiderman line prior to Amazing Spiderman's 6" series had mostly figures that were sub par at best. The best ones were repaints of Toy Biz molds. 6" can work but Hasbro's worst practice aside from subpar molds was bad casepacks, that's what killed the Iron Man lines. Not enough variety. It's to be expected that we'll see many of Tony's armors but mere repaints of those in lieu of more villains and supporting characters= a boring toylne.

You know, those things called kids that tend to be born every day and grow into teenagers and adults like us?
Actually the target audience for Legends and MU is us but Hasbro does try to balance out collector's appeal with mass appeal. Legends appears to be now, as highly influenced by more recent Marvel books with some throwbacks to classic lore and new versions of iconic characters. Meanwhile there's enough space to have one of the core Marvel characters in each wave so long as it doesn't overlap a previous and well received Toy Biz version.

Maria Hill was already in a TRU 2 pack though.

Technically we already got Iron Spider more than once..

I'm surprised Hasbro let alone Toy Biz never made a fully articulated figure of that design.

I bet they switched out regular Archangel w/X-force Deadpool so that people would be more likely to team build with the SDCC exclusives. It makes sense but I don't have to like it lol.

I am however happy to finally be getting that Neo-classic Iron Man. I was hoping that would see release in the Legends line eventually.
There is still hope that Archangel will be in regular colors as a single carded figure. At Toy Fair Hasbro stated they were trying to figure out a way to release him. I figure he will come in a later wave just without a BAF part, like Thor in wave 1.

At the time, I thought it was just because there was going to be a hiatus until Wave 3, now I'm more worried about it.
Doubt it, there are still pegs for ML up.
