And I thought that I read that in 2010 that they would already be including the Dark Ms. Marvel variant in cases. Am I just making this up? I could swear that I read this. Anybody else remember?
And Osborn in Hammer gear? Not sure what that means. I hope it's not the jumpsuit he is pictured wearing on the back of the packaging. I would much prefer Osborn in a suit.
With the exception of Osborn, seems like lazy options to me.
Ms. Marvel was 'speculated' to be in wave 5 of 2010. It was never officially confirmed. Fans just assumed since she was shown at toyfair that she's listed for the unknown wave 5 listing that has never been officially stated. Which this is a GREAT thing then. As it proves she's not the 7th fan choice winner/2nd runner up. So we still don't know what that figure will be.
These figures are all retools/repaints. It's the easiest method for an exclusive to keep cost down. Though they may throw in a few weapons, new head, or whatnot too. None of the exclusives will ever be a fully original mold.
X-Force wolverine needs a new belt, and tweaked mask to be accurate. I agree, I'd almost rather he was on this list instead of Archangel as I'd prefer archangel in x-force outfit to be on shelves since he's just a repaint.
The nice thing with Dark Ms. Marvel though, she has two outfits. Long boots, and classic boots. So they could in theory later still work one out for a wave long after the exclusive. Only her head, maybe just the hair is new on her. As the mask of the original could be painted to have the open eyes.
Osborn will probably be a hydra agent or shield agent repainted with his head being new (potentially re-useable for an unmasked Iron Patriot figure?).
Archangel is just a straightforward repaint. Maybe with new hand styles shifted from a previous figure.
So essentially the exclusives will only have the following:
Repainted figure
New Head (if applicable)
New Hair (if applicable)
weapons that can be reused later... Like fury's skrull gun being included with the skrull figure. (Weapons if Applicable to the character)
So if any of those criteria can make a new figure that fans want. Chances are higher for it being an exclusive down the road.
I kinda wish they'd go more for the obscure though. Give us DarkHawk, or Nova corps men, or Squirrel Girl, or other random oddities that'd really make us dive right in, at the same time though the exclusives need to be mainstream enough to grab even the casual reader or collector... So the more populars take forefront like Nick Fury, Archangel, and Osborn.
