If the X-Men wave happens on a classic card, I would be ok with Bonebreaker or Mojo as the "character without legs". I've made my other demands known as for as X character. Honestly, I'll take just about anyone they want to make.
I am beginning to think about scaling back even more than I already have. My main focuses are X-Men, Spider-Man and street level characters, and cosmic characters. I'm at the point where I have damn near every Avenger I want, with the exception of some holes to fill, mostly in the Thunderbolts lineup. However, more villains are always welcome to my shelf. Another wave of baddies would rock!

I completely understand where you're coming from about scaling back. I started doing that some last year and this year even more - though there hasn't been as much product I've wanted release, and with the shipping and movie release schedule being affected, that has "helped" me cut back.

I can count the number of Spider-Man related things I want on one hand, so I tend to get bored with those sections of the reveal videos - though I am still happy for those who do want more Spidey related figures.

I'm mostly set on Avengers heroes as well, maybe 5 or less figures there as well. But like you, there's a dire need for non A-list villains.

I'm more prone to leaving myself open for getting X-Men related waves, since that's always been the brightest corner of Marvel for me. But even though, I can see me getting to the point soon where I don't buy whole waves.

As far as traditionally sized build a figures go, outside of X-men there's only two I really want, Atlas and Stegron, since I got the Lockjaw from last year; though I can certainly understand people who didn't get him wanting a BAF Lockjaw for sure. And honestly even with X-men, there's not a lot of BAF I'm looking at wanting in that corner, maybe half a dozen.

All said, I'm not intending to leave the hobby but I can see it becoming less of a focus for me as more of my wants are crossed off the line. And unlike pre-2020, those wants are not getting replaced by other wants, the list is simply getting smaller.
