General Marvel Legends

I think it's also very possible that GR just isn't popular in the way people imagine. Like, lots of people like him, not as many *love* him. And that means he's the first one people say "well I would get him... maybe on discount" when they're doing budget. He's the character a lot of people would get if money wasn't a problem, but otherwise he's on the bubble for a lot of folks.

I do love the Danny i've got on my shelf though. I'm glad they made it even if it isn't selling as well as it should.

The Legendary Riders Johnny with the bike wasn't that hard to get when it released in 2019. I think I ended up picking it up in 2020 at clearance pricing online after passing on it for quite a while.
 
Diamond Emma is a long-time coming, but I wish the hair had more of a blue tint. It's looking like dirty crystal, not diamond. A blue tint would help it stand out - actually, the whole of her diamond skin having a blue tint would help offset the white of her costume. I think the package art nails it.

And if they were going to include an alt head, one of the 97 ones would have been nice.

None of the other reveals interests me on a character front. Owl looks cool - and there are Mandarin's claw hands true purpose - but I have zero connection to the character. The fact that Hypno-Hustler gets more original sculpt love than most female characters with their painted on costumes kinda pisses me off.

Been my gripe about Iceman for umpteen years now. When they finally do blue they go super dark blue plastic like on AOA. This new Secret Wars may be a step in a right direction, but Diamond Select seemed to have a decent "good enough" without many shots taken at him.

I'm hearing folks saying she looks more "Invisible" woman than Emma Frost power-wise. I was never a fan of her secondary mutation, I felt like it was just a one-up on Colossus to have her be one of the most powerful psychics and now she's physically a powerhouse too. I think this one may be popular but not a total sell-out for Target considering how many people already have Emma's. She's a popular character, but even retro Gambit was on sale for almost a year.

That was during COVID overproduction, right? Could be that he sold the forst 80% of stock fast, then tapered off.

This is always the rub when we speculate on what did or didn’t sell well. We have no idea how many are produced of any given product.
