Yeah, the A-force set is pretty awesome. That's the closest we've gotten to an all female wave - funny how collectors used to say that concept would never sell, now people are worried about not being afforded the opportunity to score an A-Force set LOL. I'd love another 6 pack that revolved exclusively around female villains, characters that might not get a retail release. Possible inclusions could be: Goblin Queen, Saturnyne (as the 'tweener between good and evil, similar to Loki in the A-Force set), Selene, Titania, Umar, and Ultron in the Wasp manifestation from the early run of Mighty Avengers. I'd consider that money well spent.

Additional Congrats to Spyne and Brownfinger on getting that set!

BM, you are absolutely correct. I believe that us more hard core collectors are definitely open to all female sets or waves or all villain waves, be it female or not. The average Iron Man/Captain America collector maybe not so much, but let's face it, with the rariry of sets like A-Force, most of the ones going for this are the hardcore collectors, unless they happen to be a big fan of one of the characters. The typical purchaser may not even be aware of sets like this at all, unless they follow SDCC footage, which I imagine many do not.

You know you got me good with Madelyne Pryor and Selene, I would support this wave. Again the problem with these figures is that the costuming may present a problem for any set/wave that is intended to hit brick and mortar, but I see no issues with it being an online/con exclusive set. Though I'd take out someone from that line up and put in Morgan Le Fay, since she's also clad quite scandalously, not sure who I'd remove (probably female Wasp given she was short-lived.)

Maybe eventually we'll see more females and villains. There's still a problem to me when you have entire waves coming out with nothing but heroes...but we have had a couple of villain centric waves along both lines as well...just need a few more. And I will give credit to Hasbro...the last few years instead of doing one female a wave they have for the most part given us 2 females and sometimes even 3. it's a step in the right direction
