I'm pretty confident that people will be picking up Herc whether they belive so, or not. It's a brand new sculpt with high levels of standout detail and an exceptionally comic accurate head (recent Abbnett Hercules). Despite being a bit diminutive in comparison to the other previous scale mistakes (Herc also skips leg-day, hardcore) - Wrecking Crew, various armored Thors, and Odin (he's also too small) - I know from having it in hand that most, if not all, of those things will be forgivable by a very large swath of collectors. I'll be adding Citizen V (been waiting far too long for this Zemo) regardless of its glorified kit-bash status - What do people really believe Mystique to be? There's not much to distinguish that fig from being a tired rehash other than the momentary blindness that fandom and sheer 'want' inspires. Additionally, people will be picking up that Living Laser once they make the connection that he's a serious Iron Man enemy and it dawns on them that we've received very few comic representatives of Tony's rogues' gallery - Hasbro: Iron Monger, Dreadknight, Ghost, Madame Masque, and Blizzard (kinda sorta, he was sent by Hammer along with Beetle and Black Lash to free Force, who had been co-opted from quasi-villain to reformed whatever by Tony...I suppose you could throw the Beetle in also but most will rightfully associate him with Pete). Also, Laser's translucent, the big kids seem to like that. And then there's good old Kyle, who satisfies both Squadron and Defenders fans inspite of his 'asleep at the wheel' lazy 'corporate-kit bash' status. All of this and the compulsion for collectors to build yet one more Thanos adds up to..."yeah, most collectors will be buying this shit"...don't fool yourselves!
