Example:
A 3 pack of:
1) Archangel Death Mask (with Wings this time)
2) Nick Fury of SHIELD (his whiteness version)
3) Vision (not clear but the original release)

They have the molds and the EvilBay prices are crazy thanks to the less than stellar distribution of the past.

If they have to mix it up with well knowns then...

Pack 1:
1) Archangel Death Mask with Wings
2) Wolverine as Death (heck use the Kraven mold, a maskless Wolverine head and a hood/cover thing)
3) Apocalypse (don't care, make him purple, we have 3 already).

Pack 2:
1) Nick Fury of SHIELD (his whiteness version)
2) Kid Fury (his Samuel Jackson version with Steve Rodgers body) or yet another Capt. America if they have to
3) Norman Osborne of HAMMER (they have the head and the body already)

Pack 3:
1) Vision (original color)
2) Scarlett Witch or another Iron Man if they have to
3) Simon Williams (astral form - clear purple of existing mold)

Easy squeezy, reuse of molds, collectors happy, kids happy, happy happy joy joy joy
