Nova Corps will be in the movie. And this movie may hint at them attempting to create a "space super soldier" that could lead to Richard Ryder or Sam Alexander Nova for the MCU later. (Sequels and spin offs.)

Nova is in the legends line because the Nova Corps are.
Ironman is in the legends line because that's his GOTG armor from his recent stint with the GOTG in their comic which allows hasbro to put a mainstay in that comic line too.

Many people want both. That's the GOTG Iron Man armor. Though kind of pointless without the rest of the comic team for him. But hey, there might be a sequel or future chances for those, so may as well start with the mainstay.

I'm actually really annoyed by the new Iron Man since it's just the recently released bleeding edge armor with a new head and shoulder bits, and Iron Man was hardly a member of the team more of a recurring guest role. Only figure I care about is Nova and the only other legend I have is Carnage, This post probably should've been in the other forum, so sorry if anyone's offended by its presence.

With GOTG being unproven as yet, hopefully more may come later. Right now it's the base movie team, a mainstay, and a fan favorite that's had lots of exposure recently since his Corps is in the film. Hopefully next GOTG movie, we may see more comic diversity and movie character coverage. Especially if the Thanos Avengers 3 or GOTG 2/Avengers 3 crossover stuff is coming up. There might be info Hasbro and Marvel are privy too that we are not as to why they balanced the figures the way they have and are waiting on box office returns to make sure that plan isn't going to be altered. We may see an actual 3.75'' line down the road too. It's a matter of timing and what is best for where and when.
