My take...

Hasbro has characters already made, but to produce they WANT to limit costs. So they mention, if they have 500 dollar budget, and five characters, they might have a big character which cost 200 dollars, so that leaves 300 dollars for four characters. So they will find cheap versions of a character to maintain their budget.

I also think, according the Glenn Webb(YouTube reviewer and customizer) that Hasbro instructs their employees to find the CHEAPEST versions of the characters, and that determines who gets made. Hence we get a 90's Jean and a Modern Cyclops.

So,as a recent collector myself, I have expectations and they usually fail to meet such as Movie Ronan and a movie Hulkbuster which are unlikely because Hasbro will not spend the cash to make. 20 bucks per figure and no real BIG Baf's is a big issue.

I hope what I typed all tied in to your questions. From my interaction from certain Hasbro employees, there are some reasons for their release schedule, but I think it's mainly LOWEST cost possible that determines waves and who gets selected.
