I've mentioned before that I have a greater "problem" (which is almost no problem at all) with the body types than the scale. They do seem to be using a single male "base" for most of the figures. I've noted being tempted to pick up a dozen or so Iceman figures, so I can customize them into various other characters. (Evidence pointing to this single-base notion comes mostly from the standardized poses. Spider-Man and Nightcrawler, for example, both of whom should be crouched, stand stiffly upright. It seems in many cases that the character has to have a dramatically different build -- Juggernaut, Colossus, Hulk -- to merit an individualized pose.*)
* Tho, also as noted, the ladies all seem to be individualized. Feel the love!

Better pose, but doesn't fit with the other figures. I can get plenty of Spider-
Man stuff in other scales if I really need it.

Its not that much taller really. I have the Black Costume Variant and I'm going to try and hunt this guy down. I wished they'd do a Green Goblin on a glider variant.

Got this today:
In the middle is a 'Marvel Family Tree'.
There are 68 characters featured. Most have been made or are coming.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen it, and if so, do you think that all the characters that are featured will get made?

The Marvel Figurine Checklist linked a couple of pages back lists 65 regular releases, 4 variants, 7 specials, and 1 super special (Galactus) for a total of 77 figurines. Now, I haven't seen the magazine above, but I don't know why anyone would think the characters featured wouldn't get made. Are there any in particular that you're thinking about, because most have already been released in the UK certainly far more than in the US.

I've seen it.
No reason to believe they won't be made.
No reason to believe they will be the only ones made.

I just think if it was true it would be a really interesting if they were all to be made.
I think there are some 'no brainers' like Quicksilver, Annihilus, Mole Man and Black Widow.
Others are on the 'hmmm that would be interesting' list... (The Prowler)
But it would be SO cool to see JJJ, Man-Thing, Warlock, and Aunt May.
