The point being we all have different entry points into the worlds created by comics and that shapes a lot of our opinions regard said comic worlds and their inhabitants. So while one character might seem an essential part of a fan's Marvel Universe, that same character will have little to no interest to another Marvel fan.

So true. The characters that have the biggest pull for me are the ones that were either in comics from my 'prime' period ('85-'90), or those that were present in the reprints that just preceded it (70's / early 80's versions of characters).

Well true, but I was also making a point that for teams and iconic duos certain characters are musts.

This is true.

Quote:

Some team females are high profile enough as must haves like Storm, Jubilee, Captain Marvel, Wasp, Emma Frost, and Red She-hulk is a must cause it's Betty(among more female figures than that!).

Technically, we did get three different Wasps - but only one full sized. So we have three mini's and one full-sized one. Which is better than we did with Ant-Man (two mini's). Though if you count Yellowjacket, we will end up with two large figures and three mini's after the next wave.

We also had three different versions of Storm; the multipack, the single card, and the Secret Wars two pack.

We also got three different Captain Marvels; vintage, black suit and red suit.

Now we're getting another She Hulk.

They could create female figures up the wazoo just with repaints alone. Let's face it - how many of us bought the West Coast Avengers pack for the lame Mockingbird? The X-Men pack for the big-haired Rogue? Seems like they sell well enough when they're propping up a weak multipack. That's why the Asgard multi would have been great; Valkyrie & Executioner - a chick and a villain in one pack!

Vindicator you'd think would be on that list too as well as Snowbird. Black Cat should be made too(especially if kingpin is made, they share as much history as kingpin and Daredevil).

We have a Falcon Snowbird (I know - that's even weaker than a Wasp mini - especially as she's a repaint). If they continue making the occasional Alpha Flight figure (including the Sasquatch they promised us!) then I think she'll get made.

Black Cat should be made because of her associations with Spidey and Kingpin, but deffo not before a Kingpin.

Quote:

I am a little miffed at the no female White Tiger though. With her exposure over in Ultimate Spider-man, that figure should be made. She's pretty much a black panther head, renegades scarlett ponytail, and the basic female buck using panther's hands more or less.

She would be an easy repaint. But then as we keep saying; many many characters could be done with simple repaints. Personally, I'd prefer the original White Tiger (male) who would be an even easier repaint (Panther painted white plus Captain Britain amulet).

Quote:

Kitty Pryde! they put out a couple translucent Iron Men, but Shadowcat was left solid! bogus.

She - along with Black Widow and Mary Jane - pegwarmed over here. Mind you, that was only at one retailer, so I don't know if that counts.

Many moons ago someone posted the Hasbro voting list for a potential upcoming figure. They then updated it showing what had been made since. We'll I've just looked at the list again, and done another little update... it seems to me that Hasbro is still culling at least some of its characters from this list...
