I whole-heartedly agree. I don't think it is bc Archangel is an XMan so much as the Von Doom figure is a crappy attempt. I mean you could buy 3 three regular figures, not come near the cost of the sub fig and recreate almost exactly minus hair color and scar (a small bit of paint anyone?).

Had they taken an existing figure (non-XMen) and done something better then it would have sold. Heck, they could have even just re-release the Nick Fury and it probably would have sold better. They could easily have Frankenfigured any number of prior releases and done better. For example, the Steve Rodgers body and Samuel L. Fury head into Nick Fury could have been done easily as could a simple repaint of Vision in all White like he had been for a while in the comic, or a yellow/brown repaint of the new Daredevil mold, or a Grey Hulk v.2 or a Norman Osborn headed Hydra Troop like in the back of the MU Cards. I mean the options are endless as opposed to another green Doom with no change and a Steve Rodgers head.
