Could care less for that version of Rogue. JL version is all I need of her. With mystique & now Pyro made, Blob, Avalanche & Destiny should be popping up in 21'.Gimme a 1st app classic Sabretooth any day over a Toad.

It's a tough thing to understand. But for one thing a lot of people want to him because he completes their teams. It's like wanting Snarf in a thundercats lineup. He sucks but there's always that itch you get from not having a complete team. The omission is disturbing. And believe it or not his lameness also makes him even more appealing to have as an action figure. There's a sheer novelty to it and the ridiculousness of the character only improves the fun factor. Like for example the Batroc figure from 2015. He's on the Bucky Cap body and the only new piece is his head. He's such a vanilla figure but he fits perfectly into so many situations and displays, and he's a member of the Masters of Evil so another plus. The dorks round out the uber badassery of everyone else. You definitely have no love for the character and that's fine but some people really want to have their Brotherhood of Mutants complete. There's more to it but that's part of it I think. Also I don't think more villains is a bad thing.
