For those waves, I think part of the reason they sat was because a good chunk of those figures weren't all that great. There are some standouts like ASX Cyclops and such but that was around the time when Hasbro just got the license and was trying to step out of Toy Biz's shadow.

I don't really think they got their groove going until they made the 1st 2 packs, and the subsequent TRU exclusive 2 packs. That's when I think they really got the ball rolling.

Man that F4 wave was disappointing in a lot of waves too. Mr. Fantastic wasn't fantastic. The original head sculpt for Johnny Storm was ditched for a far inferior head sculpt. Invisible Woman may as well truly been made invisible due to that lacking articulation. Silver Surfer was the highlight for me, the joints didn't stick out as much as the Toy Biz one.
