I'm on the fence when it comes to keeping Karl Mordo myself, simply because there is a serious lack of MCU villians altogether. Granted, the trailers have Karl looking like he will be friends with Strange, but it's the knowledge of knowing what he will eventually become that has me hanging onto him, as there is no guarantee that we will receive him as Baron Mordo later on down the line given Hasbro's checkered past with MCU villians.

I might end up using Nico for a custom. I feel like she would be a great Negasonic Teenage Warhead head or give her full repaint and you could make her into Lara Croft. Her face shape the way the mouth are especially the eyes remind me of that.
I really want to get my hands on Civil War Scarlet Witch somehow. I'm sure that's more of the rare ones and the prices online for it they're just really steep.

Nico is a great figure. The head has some great possibilities for swaps with current teen female Legends (like the for-mentioned Negasonic, and Mayday Parker, which I really like the head for) and the body has some potential too, especially those boots (Gothic X-23 anyone?) I'm excited to see what people come up with. Hopefully she'll peg warm a bit so the cost of her as fodder won't be too bad, though I highly doubt it.

I'm starting to think that the final Civil War wave will go the route of many of Hasbro's late Walmart waves of Legends at this rate, and that many of the figures might be highly coveted in the years ahead unless something dramatic happens shipping wise. Most of my stores have been buried in the Xmen and now Strange wave, with some limited Space Venoms straggling about and absolutely NO Abomination figures and one or two Giant Man figures left over from the one or two cases they received. I'm not entirely sure what the hang up was, whether it had something to do with three waves of figures being tied to one film, or just Legends exhaustion in general, but at this rate, I can see many of these figures driving hard prices on the secondary market in the future, even the ones like Iron Skull or Eel that we originally thought would be languishing until Christmas.
