Hasbro's a pretty big company in its own right, and while you don't want to piss off your licensers, you also don't want to piss off a huge toy producer like that.

I think it's more likely to be the prior, as we're receiving the Magik figure but only as part of a five pack which overall promotes a Marvel Studios property (Doctor Strange). So in that regard I reckon your BAF idea could work! While a wave could have Rogue as the BAF, the series would be officially an Avengers one, which would promote that property. I'd be up for that!

Whether I'd want to buy 7 D-list Avengers to get an A-list X-Men character though is the debatable part (they're going to run out of A/B-list Avengers reaaaal fast at the rate they're going).
