    Bummer, I wanted that pirate outfit. All things considered, perhaps Iron Man would have been a better choice...

    Does this mean the line is kaput?
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      Or maybe there just isn't enough audience for pricy variants?

        Or maybe the format just doesn't work outside of a handful of characters. It's too bad really.

        The very nature of the retro figure lends itself to period specific characters...not characters like Deadpool. There are literally dozens of silver and bronze age Marvel Megos that could have been done and they would have been huge sellers.
        Fans have wanted characters like Dr. Doom, Red Skull, the X-Men, Doctor Octopus, etc. for YEARS. I'm still holding out for FTC.

          Or maybe the price structure imposed by Hasbro does not work.

            Can't say I'm disappointed. I bought the first Deadpool set....didn't plan on buying this variant set.

              The 'classic' boxed Deadpool looked a lot better in this set than it did in the first one.

              I didn't really care much about the other two costumes.

                This was the only new release from Diamond next year in 8'' retro . Turn out the lights the
                party is over. Ironman would have added one more classic but Diamond wanted more
                Deadpools so here we are

                  That's what I meant by format...sorry if I wasn't clear.

                    I thought you meant the dolly dressup aspect of it.

                      That is very disappointing to me, I was really liking this set. It was fun. Maybe this means someone else has grabbed up the license for 8 inch Marvel.

                        By all accounts the first Deadpool set was far and away the most successful of these sets. So the fact that the second version got canceled should say a lot about the viability of this line.

                              Not sure how that would be determined without knowing final sales numbers of each figure, which we don't.
