The umpteenth versions of Spiderman/Wolvy/Hulk/Deadpool has been played out. Although the ToddBatverse line takes the cake in that dept with his endless Batman variations. I will cherry pick to the extreme certain characters & only when I see them on sale/clearance & those are US Agent, classic Sabretooth & of the new reveals, the Human Fly although they went again with a yelling headsculpt version with no alternate stoic head sculpt. If this line refuses to fill out the various teams I mentioned & is just gonna continue focusing on repeat releases of the A-listers, I'll probably be done with collecting this line soon.

I agree with most of this 100%, with the lone exception of the Hulk. He hasn't been done to death, yet. Most fans were unhappy with how Mr. Fix-It looked and/or how the Marvel Legends 20th anniversary Hulk heads turned out. We've had two exclusive Retro carded Hulks that fans wanted and most weren't able to get. I'm still waiting on a classic Kirby-esque green Hulk, a better Mr. Fix-It, a McFarlane-esque grey Hulk, and brown jumpsuit Merged Hulk from the Pantheon era. I'll take more Hulks. Then again, I'll take more Hulk Legends waves and more Hulk villains, heroes and civilian characters. The main problem is the price to get the Hulk since he's a big figure. He's usually a Build-A-Figure character, which I loathe since I want/prefer solo Hulk figures. If Hasbro's going to make figures of lesser known villains, why not go with Hulk's rogues gallery?

To an extent, even Wolverine hasn't been out as much in recent Marvel Legends waves like he used to be. We'd usually get four or five Wolverines a year back in the '90s/Toy Biz days, from battle damaged and classic to samurai and original blue-and-yellow X-Men uniform, and six to eight Spider-Man figures a year in that time.

Besides, A-list remakes and re-releases are no shock to me. They're going to get remade or re-released over and over. That's just the way it is. They're popular and they sell. My main problem is they're not making it easier for fans to find them when they do and making them unnecessary exclusives to a lone store or website rather than being easy to find everywhere, like the recent Wal-Mart exclusive Animated Spider-Man.
