I still think the current figure system needs to be overhauled personally.

MU needs to stay. Let it be pure comic versions of characters across the ages with occasional wave emphasis on detailed comic versions of characters in the prevalent cartoons.

Movie lines need to be consolidated though.
We have the basic line up of films for awhile now. The film toys which are being relegated to 4-5 waves and then out, need to be merged by licenses.

X-Family license(Fox). 4-7 films to draw from, and one film line already that can be filtered in as filler with certain figures at low case ratios.
Spider-License(Sony). This is where the ultimate spider-man toys should have gone, including movie conceptualized versions of them and the amazing friends cast alongside extended library like black cat besides of course comic figures of all of em too.
Avengers License(Marvel). This includes all connected cinema like IM3, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, GOTG, etc.

Then some kind of rotating one for Daredevil, Fantastic 4, Ghost Rider and any other outlying live properties.
This way they can all stay on shelves with fresh product. Get packaging revisions per each movie with emphasis on current films of the year or retro year and maintain shelf space. Depending on the film it's a decent spot for comic figures to bolster out the store shelves when an MU wave is high on the obscure. Like the X-Men line could have Bastion, Ultimate Nimrod, Academy X new X-Men, or even other movie characters that have yet to have this scale as figures. The Avengers line could branch out more too on the comic side with stuff like young avengers female Hawkeye, Mockingbird, or even Jarvis. The avengers side could even have some stuff from the new in-universe tv shows. Like the leading shield agents in SHIELD, or whatever else is coming.
MU definitely needs to stick around though. It sells too well. Especially now as the cartoons are introducing the wider spectrum of characters to kids and more. Heck, EMH has actually got me saddened that I haven't gotten a winter soldier figure yet.
