But even then, that claim is verifiably nonsense. In recent waves alone: Namor, Spider-Woman, Spider-Gwen, Sunfire, Dazzler, Shatterstar, Polaris, Prowler, Gwenpool, Lasher, Songbird, Sasquatch and Paladin. Flippin' Paladin.

Out of that list that you posted, I didn't buy Gwenpool-Spider woman-Lasher, Paladin, Prowler, Dazzler, Songbird.

I don't care for those characters though I'm sure many others do, & that most recent spiderwoman is modern & pretty much sucks costume wise IMO. I got Namor/Sunfire/Shatterstar & eventually plan on getting Sasquatch/Cable/90s DP & Deathlok.


Main reason a lot of those characters got made is cuz they are either Spiderman related or DP related.


With these recent X-waves coming out, instead of that Magneto that maybe used that costume for like a yr, they could have slipped in a member of the IG such as Starbolt or Smasher, same for the Sauron wave, they could have made Neutron or Oracle instead. IMO, IG members can be inserted into either X-Men related or Avengers related waves at least 1 per wave like they have inserted members of the Serpent Society in recent waves. So far we have Eel, Cottonmouth & King Cobra, throw in Constrictor as well. Hopefully Hasbro makes more SS members such as Puff Adder, Rock Python, Anaconda, Death Adder, rattler & Bushmaster.

The IG & Squadron Supreme core characters can be done if Hasbro just does them 1 character per 4-5 waves per yr, that would get you completed teams in like 2 yrs. Same thing for Alpha Flight, Star Jammers & other members of the 80s Masters of evil from the "siege of Avengers mansion" story arc. Figures of Mr Hyde, Grey Gargoyle, Moonstone, Fixer & Evil Goliath are long overdue. There are other teams out there in the MU asides from Avengers & X-Men that need doing.


That's one thing I will give Kudos to the great DCUC 4 horseman sculpted line, they went out of their way to complete various different DC teams of not only heroes, but villians as well. They gave us the entire Legion of Doom membership as well as the LOSH, The Metal men, the JLA/JLU, Doom Patrol & JSA.
