And of course when I say figures I don't mean specific to a costume. I mean just the character in general. They could give us all new never seen before costumes for these characters but at the end of the day it's still a character that you have the option to have on your shelf, if you're willing to pay enough.

For those that don't have the original character releases I do get the excitement of it, and I respect your right to be excited. It's just coming from the other side there are also reasons why this wave could be considered a tremendous letdown.

And likewise, I respect that you and other collectors may be disappointed (again, if this list turns out to be true), but as one of the collectors who can't go back and buy some of the older figures (and even if I could, some of those older figures just plain suck), the possibility of getting these characters for retail prices makes me very happy.

Also, I wonder if this roster is chosen from a 'play it safe' standpoint - releasing characters that are established enough that they'll see higher sales from the general market, and to gauge how well a future X-Men wave would sell during this Marvel Studios/Fox schism that may or may not have contributed to the lack of new X-Men figures in the past couple years.
