I had a feeling that this was going to happen to the line, which was why I griped so openly about having so many variants of the same three figures. If Hasbro can crank out three waves of Legends figures in under six months, there is no reason why Mezco could not have got more of the cast out there instead of giving us variant upon variant of the same three figures. People can point out cost of sculpts, new figure parts etc, and Hasbro's tendency to kitbash and repaint the hell out of their figures, but still, is it not just as much a waste of time, funds, and a financial gamble producing limited run exclusives and repaints, when those funds could be better spent cranking out new molds and figures? They knew that this was going to be a time sensitive release, as the figures were only going to do as well as the game's popularity carries it...and being so late out of the gate to begin with really hurt the line.

That said...at least we will be getting Quan Chi, which other than Reptile (who was passed over yet again...) was all I could really ask for.
