Seven points of difference to avoid copyright infringement, so no they couldn't be identical, but hipster style cosutmes are hipster style. Also no one needs a 3rd Jessica Drew, the Thanos wave Jessica is pretty definitive. Unless the new one is going to be preggers, they can use the spider woman spot for a new character.

Like I said, that is a ridiculously low bar to call something derivative, especially when her first costume is even more derivative as it's literally the same as every other spandex bodysuit bar the colour scheme.
I left out the fanart because it's not relevant. I'm not saying we need another Jessica Drew figure (I wouldn't complain either) I'm saying it's ridiculous to say her new costume is a rip off of Batgirl of Burnside. By that logic every male character wearing a suit is ripping off whatever character you want to point too. Wolverines' outfit is a rip off of Supermans' because they both consist primarily of a spandex bodysuit.

Ultimate Spider-Man JUST came out last year and there's likely still stores in the U.S. that haven't moved out the old Spider-Man waves to make room for the wave that he was in, not to mention this version comes with even less accessories. Releasing multiple versions of a character over a couple of years is one thing. Releasing the same character 3 times within the same year like they've been doing with Star-Lord, Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron-Man, etc., is absolutely ridiculous.

Hasbro have said retailers won't buy waves without the big name characters being in them.
