Most people under the age of 30 won't know who Dazzler or Sunfire are either. Same goes for other characters in the line like the Serpent Society members. Also, Hobgoblin and Morbius haven't been in a Spider-Man cartoon since the 90s show.

No one was asking for Titus either. Nor Space Venom. Or that Hulk-like Green Goblin thing, etc.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't feel like I needed to have a figure of Warlock either, especially when there are other X-Men characters I want. However, he makes more sense to me than a one shot from a subpar cartoon. Plus, at least it's something. Of course, this also means that Hasbro better give us other characters from The New Mutants book.

Kind of an apple and oranges comparison when comparing Titus to other older, more established characters like Hobgoblin and Morbius. Those characters, while maybe not getting the exposure they should on an animated series/movie/media, are still mainstays that make regular appearances in the books every so often. Titus is still relatively new, and many people, especially casual fans, have not been exposed to him other than his appearance in the GotG cartoon.

Warlock on the other hand (at least this iteration of him) has been dead for a LONG time, so it's bizarre to see him come from out of nowhere...but then again, Hasbro has been scratching itches lately with some of their choices for obscure characters.

I'm not even sure what we're even debating anymore...so I'll just leave it there...lol.

I got you there...truthfully, I haven't picked up a comic book in a while, so my only exposure to him is from the cartoon that Kain is mentioning. Not disregarding the input nor intending to disrespect the characters.

Kinda reminds me of the very first time I saw the trailer for Blade back in the movie theaters. Some friends of mine were like, "is that the dude from the Spider-Man cartoon?" and I had to explain that Blade had actually been around Marvel for a long time before ever appearing in that Fox show. Even Stan Lee has expressed regret for not fully capitalizing on the Marvel Comics link when Blade hit theaters, because for many, that Spider-Man cartoon and the film were the only exposure they had ever had to the character.
