I think everyone is making some good points. One thing Hasbro can't seem to do is give us a wave without that anchor figure. Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor (to an extent), all these guys have a bunch of versions because they will hopefully help the wave sell. As collectors, we may not always see the value here. Parents who know nothing about the comics will buy the person they know because they've seen them in commercials for movies. I was in Toys R Us yesterday and a woman was asking me "which of these characters are famous?" There were a few left over Guardians, Cap and Spider-Man legends. I tried to recommend Star Lord and her answer was "Who?". I felt like it was pulled from the movie, haha.
I'm not saying the big names are in every wave, but Hasbro mostly throws them in, Toy Biz did the same. Would I love a wave with zero anchor figures? Sure! But I think it might be some time before we see that happen.
