@Archangel - I can kind of see why none of them have sold out. Half of them aren't well-known A-listers and those that are popular have something about them fans aren't liking.

- Arcade is a cool X-Men villain, but he's not really well-known outside of comic fans. Lady Deathstrike is known if folks saw the movie 'X2' or the X-Men animated series, but she's the one I'm actually surprised isn't actually sold out considering what a magnificent job they did on her action figure.

- I still say Battleworld white suit Doctor Doom was a mistake in timing, especially after everyone bought and praised the 2020 wave figure and/or the current Retro Doom. I get that Doom is an A-list classic and arguably one of Marvel's greatest villains, if not THE greatest Marvel villain, but another villain should've taken Doom's slot.

- A.I.M. Scientist Supreme is like Arcade -- most folks won't know who he is. And if you're talking about Bring On The Bad Guys and folks wanting figures like Mephisto, Abomination or even a better Loki, if you put an A.I.M. Scientist Supreme in there, that seems more like a shelf-warmed choice.

- The Red Skull is probably the most recognizable to folks next to Doctor Doom, especially thanks to his Marvel Cinematic Universe films. But I feel this should've been in last year's Avengers waves instead of this year's B.O.T.B.G. wave. Also, I've read some posts where fans aren't liking the grinning head and there isn't really anything new about the figure to make it look that different from past Red Skull figures.

- Dormammu is cool and he's a long time fan-wanted character, but I've read some posts where fans said they don't like the head and change to the fire colors so they're passing. And if mostly comic book fans are buying these lesser-known characters as Marvel Legends figures, it's important to make sure they look right.

- The Hood is still generic civilian figure in a cape. This is not the version of the Hood fans wanted to see and, again, that's only to comic book fans who know who the character is. Is anyone shocked a screaming nobody in a plastic hooded cape is not sold out? Anyone?

... Bueller? Bueller?


I think the Bring On The Bad Guys selection from Toy Biz's Marvel Legends was much better. We got Green Goblin, Abomination, Pyro, Loki, Lady Deathstrike and Blackheart. Here, we've got... A.I.M. Scientist Supreme, civilian guy in a hoodie, and Doctor Doom 3.0. I'm not saying the figures are bad, but I think if they do make a second wave, they really need more well-known villains and for them to actually look well enough so that core fans won't pass on them.
