Plus a woman dressed up in an outfit that makes her look like a Playboy waiter and then some kung fu asian dude

The Kingpin wave:
Modern Black Cat (2014)(1979 - Original outfit)
Six-Armed Spidey
Puma(1984)
Night Thrasher (1989)
Silver Sable (1985),
Symbiote Spidey (2018 - I think) (Original Outfit 1984)
Red Goblin (2018).

The Demogoblin Wave
Velocity Spider-Man (2018)
Spider-Armor MKIII/Ends of the Earth Armor (2012)(2018 for game design)
The Vulture (1963)
The Superior Octopus (2017) Original Doctor Octopus (1963)
White Rabbit (1983)
Shang Chi (1973)

White Rabbit is a pretty standard Spider-Man villain that has been around since the 80's. She's usually one of those villains Spider-Man usually faced in between major comic events or Sinister Six-types. She's a joke villain who sometimes escalates into the big leagues when she teams up with other villains but remains chaotic enough to not stay there long.

Shang Chi is getting his own movie in the next year or three (thanks to Covid-19 pushing back the dates of most films). He's probably going to be used to bring in the real Mandarin that was hinted in one of the Marvel shorts and can be used to bring high level martial arts to the Marvel big screen.

I mean, I get that you favor the X-men and seem to have a problem with local collectors and/or scalpers grabbing things up, but that is for your area and isn't really indicative of the overall trend/sales.

Around me, X-men tend to shelfwarm more than Spider-Man or movie figures. The only X-men figure (that wasn't a Walgreens exclusive with all the distribution issues they have) I have never seen shelfwarm in the 'wild' here is Mr. Sinister. Even the Retro Storm was pretty abundant here until they stopped restocking that line.

The only movie figures that I've seen shelfwarm here have been Wasp and the target exclusive 'Starforce' Captain Marvel.

Honestly, only older collectors will even know who most of the Age of Apocalypse wave is. Once these guys get their figures and the scalpers get theirs, the average toy buyer will likely gravitate towards known characters like Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Dark Beast to a lesser extent. Wildchild, Morph, X-man, and Sunfire will probably shelfwarm once the 'new wave' fever dies down. Or as Walmart and Target have recently been doing, they'll be moved to the clearance isle because space is limited and theres a Deadpool/X-Force wave coming up as well as a Spider-Man retro wave while they'll probably replenish the Black Widow movie wave once it actually gets a theatrical release.
