You all know me well enough by now that you know that outside of the X-Men, which are mostly redone now, I tend to prioritize new never done before characters over redos and alternate outfits. The fact that they opted to not make a 7 figure wave, and included a version of She-Hulk that doesn't even fit with F4 theme, versus a brand new never done before character, for the first F4 wave in a decade, is a sticking point for me. I was really hoping the BAF was Lockjaw or that there was a 7th figure coming.

Again, they all look like great figures, and for those who want them, that's great, but passing on everyone but Doom will save me a lot of money. Doom though is just too good to miss out on.

I understand the spirit of what you are saying, but "outside of the Xmen" represents a significant compartmentalization, as these characters have received a startling wealth of redrafts.

Of just the canon characters that have been redone since the Return of Marvel Legends in waves/multi-packs/box-sets:

Colossus - 2
Juggernaut - 2
Havok - 2
Cyclops - 7
Jean - 6
Cable - 2 (3 if you count Stryfe)
Psylocke - 2
Angel - 4
Mystique - 2
Sabretooth - 2
Beast - 2
Iceman - 3
Jubilee - 2
Storm -3
Magneto - 3
Magik - 2
Dazzler - 2
X-23 - 2

(thought to include Wanda - 2, but I view her as more of an Avenger redraft)

I've, of course, left out Wolverine and Deadpool because I can't recall off the top of my head how many there have been. And we are certain to see more revisits as we move forward.

Based on this quick list, the X-men might just be the most egregious example for Hasbro's redraft exploits.

Edit: not a fan of the character, but Strong Guy looks pretty damn awesome.
