From a business perspective, it's stupid for them to keep making prototype with a year of inventory ready to go.
We still have (drumroll please)
Nighthawk
The MoE set
ALL of waves 18 and 19
New AvX comic packs
Old Man Logan exclusive (not some crappy repaint- YEAH!)
Electra
Emma Frost
Collusus-Juggernaut
Inhumans boxed set
That Giant Ultimo
Pending stuff like the Black Knight, Masterson Thor, Thunder Frog, etc.

Really, there's a minimum of 25-30 figures that have not hit retail in any way and we're still worried about the line?!?

That's three times the number of ML figures announced and no one is saying "The sky is falling!" over that line...

I think our love of MU (and big reveals at prior shows) has colored some of our expectations- and the occasional doomsayer that promounced the line dead only feeds into our dread that, in spite of all evidence otherwise, the line is ending.

Really, unless they officially announce something, lets go with what they actually said- that the line was pushed bak because of The Avengers and it should be easier to find new upcoming stuff.

oh i agree, they did show us a ton of new things to come. though i will say old man logan is some kinda kitbash repaint of what looks like movie sabretooth. i think some of the consensus was that if they were playing their hand on showing us mysterio, rhino, and elektra in the display early that there'd be more shown at the panel. i'd just got back home and the panel was almost over and i'd hurriedly gone over to the links and clicked through the pics expecting more to be shown but found it hilarious that there were barely a handful of MU pics.
i agree that what we've seen and know to be coming out is a lot. what i didn't expect was how little MU was talked about at the panel. doomsayer or not and even with the ML branding coming back, the line as a whole does feel off. black knight? bearded thor? frog thor? no mention. just seems suspicious and not enough to alleviate the idea that the line is not business as usual.

that said, i'll still gladly continue to collect and stand by the line to whatever end.
