Reuse is fine with me, where it concerns body parts as long as it's done properly and no offence to the company, but they could have done a few things with each figure to enrich each one. Plain bodies with so-so paint apps make me question if this was just a money grab. I'm loyal to the brand and will likely be buying 2 cases of the Jubilee and Cap 2 lines as well as one of ASM2 and GotG lines, but I'm still disappointed. Oh well, the Wolvie sculp kicks ass and I get to try my hand at a brown and black reprint one day, so not a terrible loss. The updated Emma is welcome, and the Cyke and Sabes bodies were the right choices, they just needed a touch or two to make them stand out more.

What I mean by 'mistake', is that I should have just bought one of each instead of all the duplicates

I did notice that the Wolverine body sculpt is too similar to that of X-Factor Wolverine which made me wonder why. If Hasbro has done a better job in the sculpts than Mattel has then why resort to this. I may understand doing it to the MU line since it's a smaller scale but these are bigger and would require more detail regarding certain aspects of the different bodies for the characters. I'm guessing that Hasbro is heading in the same direction as its competitor and making fewer figures/waves since the only "real" buyers are only collectors like ourselves and we are but a handful.
it's a real shame...
