The comic version Nova Prime was far and above the breakout figure of the wave and I seem to recall reading somewhere it was one of if not the top sold Legends figure that year.

It was mentioned during the SDCC press conference a few years ago that it was the highest selling legends figure of all time...which isn't all that bad for a figure I personally felt was really weak QC wise. While I know that many of the figures from that wave suffered from that softer, gummy plastic they were using at the time, Nova (among all of the figures in that wave that my wife purchased) really stood out as being the gummiest, with really bad rubbery and weak joints to boot. Couple it with the metallic paint, and he's also sticky. My wife's Nova is a nightmare to stand in anything other than a static pose, and just feels gross to touch. I don't even call him Nova around her...he's known as Gumby.

I can imagine that we will end up getting a new wave of figures once GotG Vol: 2 drops. Although, something in my gut tells me it will be a comic book based wave, as opposed to being a movie based one. We have been starting to see rumors of a Space Knight Venom BAF in the works, and Angela (who was moonlighting with the GotG for a while) was the winner of the fan vote last SDCC...which is two comic based figures at the least right there. Considering that a lot of GotG figures languished on store shelves for some time (at least they did in my area) it wouldn't surprise me if sales from the upcoming Civil War wave(s) will determine whether or not we get more movie based, or comic based Guardians.
