So I wouldn't put him near the level of Cap/Spider-Man/Iron-Man whom we receive at least multiple figures of every single year. So yeah, Wolverine was a case where we groaned about the prospect of getting another Wolverine, but it was in a classic look and it easily topped all previous versions of the character. Hasbro's not doing that with the Big 3. I'd love to get a classic Iron-Man that's better than any figure we've had of the character before it, but that's not what Hasbro's doing. They just keep churning out mediocre Iron-Man after mediocre Iron-Man on outdated molds and with bottom of the barrel costumes.

And yeah, I'm aware that kids like Legends and it DOES say Ages 4+ on the box, but we all know it's a collector's line, or at least right on that fine line. It's $20 a piece per figure. That's a collector-priced figure. Just to compare, Marvel Selects are around that price give or take, and most NECA stuff is only like 5 dollars more than that. Moms aren't paying $20 per figure for their kid. That's why we've got Hero Mashers and Titan Heroes and all of the other weird gimmick lines that Hasbro does.

Every time someone mentions that X-Men wave, I break just a little inside. The only figure I ever found at TRU was Wolverine. Cyclops and Strafe I found at my local comic store...which is now closed.
