You've got a some of the key characters I still need.
DC:
- Classic Perez Deathstroke
- Classic Martian Manhunter
- Two Face
- Ra's al Ghul
- Classic Deadshot
Marvel Avengers:
- Classic Cap (no pouches on his belt)
Marvel X-MEN:
- Classic or modern Storm
- Classic or modern Cyclops (Byrne or Cassaday)
- Classic Nightcrawler (Byrne)
While a decent amount of characters we need would be revisits, there are many fairly popular characters sideshow has flat out neglected over the years. Two Face, Penguin, Riddler, and Nightwing in the Batverse. Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Atom in JLA lineup. Doc Ock, Mysterio, Electro, Sandman, Scorpion, and Vulture in the Spidey line. Nightcrawler, Beast, Angel/Archangel, and Iceman in the X-MEN lineup.
My biggest gripe is when we get the EXACT same costumes on back to back revisits. For example, I don't want or need a Lee Cyclops. The last Cyclops PF was in his Lee costume (just like the 1st one). Why not release the last Cyke PF in his Byrne or Cassaday costume? This way collectors waiting for a Byrne or Cassaday Cyclops get one for their collection. If sideshow wanted to revisit the Lee costume, they could easily do so farther down the line. Ideally, the first Cyclops PF would've been Lee, second one Byrne, third one Cassidy, and a Lee revisit on the 4th one. Do the same thing with characters like Beast and Angel. 1st Beast PF is classic Byrne/Lee, 2nd one Astonishing/Cassaday, 3rd Retro Kirby Beast. Same for Angel (classic, Archangel, Kirby Angel). If sideshow would just mix up the costumes on their revisits and add in a few more first time characters, I would like to think that'd be a win-win for sideshow and their customers.
