Anywho, I do understand what you mean. Truth be told, I'm not sure when the original Marvel Universe ideas run out (i.e. what the intial line up was, it was obvious they had planned all of year 1 and 2 and maybe even beginning of 3?) and when they start to run with things...

When that point hits, they sholdbe smarter about what molds were successful and not. Just the general pitfall of planning out so far ahead...

But you're right. But...would you pay an extra dollar or two to see this happen?
Hell we are paying what, $9+tax at Walmart for these now? Might as well use different molds, I would pay more if Hasbro did that.

as for the Nick Fury/DD Differences, they actually use different upper and lower torsos, so its alot better.

another mold I hope they retired is the Wolverine Mold. they have yet to really use the Astonishing Wolverine Mold from XMO. Its a fantastic Mold thats only seen 2 figures(Astonishing Deluxe 2pack and X-Force 3pack Wolverine). The next time I see the old Wolverine Mold, Iw ant it to be Dakens newest uniform
Have not bought Luke Cage yet, so I'm not aware of the body reuses of that mold.

As for Nick Fury VS Daredevil, I think the retooled body is an improvement but not enough to make it a lot better. I could take it on Winter Soldier since he at least had an all new head sculpt and left arm.

My gut feeling is that we will see the ASX costume from the XMO deluxe pack/X-Force 3 pack with the head from the XMO tiger stripe Wolverine, or an all new head.

BTW what does Daken's new uniform look like?

Indeed.

Why not spread the love from IM, Spidey, Wolverine and the other X-Men, Hulk, and Capt? There are plenty of characters and versions of these figures that you don't have to have Spidey and IM in every wave and intersperse other characters.
Well see that's the thing man, while there are is a Spiderman, Wolverine and Iron Man in nearly every other wave, nearly every other wave uses the same bodies most of the time.
