To clarify, I didn't mean I wanted a Jim Lee Cyclops in the HoX/PoX wave. I said I would've preferred a Retro Jim Lee Cyclops. Sorry for the confusion. I am glad the new Cyclops figure for the HoX/PoX wave has an optic blast, though honestly, all Cyclops figures should have one and there's no reason why he shouldn't.

I'm not surprised Hasbro re-releases better versions of the same character. After all, the figures have to be updated eventually. Some are just getting re-released and/or repainted sooner than others. I don't mind double-dipping if it's a new version of the same character and/or same figure from a few years prior but repainted or whatever, just as long as it's worthy of actually buying and not just made or re-released as a cash grab.

I actually have a ton of figures left that Hasbro can still make. And since everyone knows I'm mostly a Marvel Legends Spider-Man collector, there are plenty of alternate versions of characters that can be made and released in a new costume or from another reality over the next decade or so. For Doc Ock, you can re-release the classic green-and-orange suit, or you could make a white Armani suit version, or you could even do the classic first appearance/Steve Ditko suit era. For the Sandman, you can re-release the classic version, or you could make the green armored suit from the Frightful Four era, or you can make the green-and-yellow Wild Pack/Avengers reservist era. There are so many ways to make an existing character appealing and release him/her in a way that would make it a new addition to your collection.

Thanks for your time. I hope you all are having a great night and have a wonderful weekend as well. Stay safe, everyone.
