Same with Red Skull. We had one decent figure for Loki, but it's a look that's so specific to a certain storyline that you almost can't fit in anywhere on your shelf. They didn't even attempt a Mephisto yet; we had to hop on over to Diamond Select for that and now he's selling for astronomical prices on eBay.


I mean, we get great figures for B-list and C-list villains all the time, but when it comes to receiving a Dr. Doom that's at least "passable" in a modern collection, forget about it.

I figure a lot of it has to do with Hasbro focusing on characters who have a lot of reuse potential.
