But there's still 7 months left in the year. A Steve Rogers Cap could be released later in the year without stepping on Sam's toes. Maybe re-release the 80th Cap in a lighter deco with a pouch belt?

The focus SHOULD be on Sam right now. That said, the comic anniversary shouldn't be ignored either. There's room for both: the M.C.U. side and the comic book side. Other than Sub-Mariner, Captain America is one of Marvel's oldest super-heroes and an 80th anniversary focus should at least try to be included in Hasbro's plans. Those who don't want the M.C.U. Cap can turn to the comic anniversary version, and vice-versa. I do hope we get at least something for Cap later this year. I'd love a new body mold for Cap instead of a third outing for the Retro Cap, and we NEED a new head sculpt. The current head sculpt looks more constipated than angry to me. And I will repeat this until it happens: I NEED a scaly-chainmail Captain America with a smiling head based on John Byrne's art, an alternate head of Steve Rogers, and accessories of his triangular and round shields. Please make it happen, Hasbro!

I've seen plenty of A-list waves pegwarm without civilian characters. The character selection and adding alternate accessories would help make those "normal" figures sell, though. Like you could have the Lizard, but include the head, left hand and feet of Dr. Curt Connors to give it a two-in-one figure effect. Or you could have a two-pack of the civilian alter-ego (Dr. Bruce Banner, General "Thunderbolt" Ross, Betty Ross-Banner, Rick Jones) with a gamma-powered alter-ego (gray or green Hulk, Red Hulk, Harpy or Red She-Hulk, A-bomb). Or you could do a civilian figure with an A-list enemy, like in Spider-Man's case, you could release a two-pack of Aunt May Parker with Doctor Octopus or Joe "Robbie" Robertson with Tombstone.

Also, adding on based on a suggestion, the Hulk is in serious need of Marvel Legends love, including his civilian characters. The Gargoyle, Ringmaster, Tyrannus, Zzzax, orange-and-black suit Leader with the "Jiffy Pop" giant brain head sculpt, classic Abomination, the Rhino, Nightmare, the Absorbing Man -- take your pick. I hope that Ant-Man, the Hulk, Spider-Man and Thor get some Marvel Legends 60th anniversary figures. A Bruce Banner with first appearance Gray Hulk or a first-appearance Spider-Man with the blue back spider emblem with the Burglar would be very much appreciated and welcome to my Marvel Legends collection.
