Zero interest in Bizarro or Cyborg and out of curiosity pinged some non-comic folks and they don't know who they are... *smh

Brainiac, Darkseid, Doomday and Lex are well known though...

This likely is influenced by animated series/movies... just like certain x-men popularity, or lack there of.

I think that balance of popularity and saturation plays a role. I kmow this is a repeat, but it is also only the second large scale PG made. I'd love if XM, P1, IS, QS and others made her so SS could do other characters.

There's a common assumption that selecting a character to produce precludes other characters but that is hardly ever the case.

Sideshow could always do other characters. They choose not to.

Licensor might have a say too. The real question is is someone going to spend $600 plus on a third tier villain? I wager not as often as some here would like you to believe.

It's all relative but to maximize sales you choose the most popular characters possible. That's just how it works.

That is why this game has been and will continue to be stuck on repeat.

XM has released Sandman, Doc Ock, Kraven, Vulture, Winter Soldier, Magik, Beta Ray Bill, Star Lord, Scorpion, Lizard, Black Bolt, Mysterio, Electro, Iceman, Omega Red, Medusa, Kingpin, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, and Ghost Rider in 1/4 scale. I'm sure most of them were $600 or more. If XM can release those pieces and make a profit, I'm sure sideshow can as well.

It's a valid point... even when they made far too many of some so they tanked in the aftermarket (Medusa, for example) they still sell out.
