Nah! Don't worry too much on that. Generally if they make it this far and get shown off, they will be made. We just may see changes in the final designs. They each go back and forth to Marvel/Disney several times for approval at each design step. From what I have seen, strangely, the step that Disney is prone to make the biggest changes to and most stink over is color selection. They can bounce that back and forth for weeks before nailing down the precise colors that they want used. If they like the sculpt at the begining, it normally sails through pretty cleanly. Any changes there are typically production and engineering. Not normally licensor. Maybe a face change? These mostly look like they are in the paint and color approval stages.

I think we all know what happened to the J Lawrence Mystique. That fell victim to the feuding between Marvel and Fox. Those sorts of things are rare. And that specific impediment is no longer an issue.

Yes thing sget shown that don't always make it to production (or vanish for years) Bandai is notorious for it. But Hasbro doesn't typically do that with their Marvel stuff. This is one of their core bread and butter high margin lines. It displaces the factory time of other stuff. Probably even Star Wars at this point.
