I never could get into AoA (and X-men at length outside of specific arcs) because it kinda hammered home how X-men's villains basically go ignored by the rest of Marvel unless it is specifically a mega-event that utilizes them. Like they exist in some sort of pocket universe where no one notices the giant genocide robots until they walk up to Xavier's or where giant threats like the Phoenix force and Apocalypse are so mutant-centric that they only crossover with the rest of Marvel when there needs to be conflict between hero groups or major events. Nevermind how much effort is put into maintaining the whole mutants being persecuted for getting superpowers naturally thing even after the universe has literally been recreated.

With AoA in particularly, I'm kinda surprised such a relatively short arc has such a huge fanbase considering it wasn't meant to be something that lasts and was literally a throwaway timeline.

I mean, I'll definitely check out some of the figures in the wave once the final physical sculpts are shown but I think I would've preferred to get 616 renditions of some missing X-men characters or even Gamerverse characters like Captain America - Sharon Carter from Marvel Future Fight, or the Agents of Atlas. Maybe a 616 Shadowcat, Calypso, Maggot, Banshee, 'modern' Mystique, Angel, etc.
