Some characters will be reintroduced as \"greatest hits\" figures. Each series will come without a BAF \"main line\" character to not force you to buy every figure<\/li>\n<li>Series 2: Bucky Cap, Wrecking Crew (some running changes will be whole new characters.

No plans, but wants to <\/li>\n<li>Themed sidelines for ML to tie-in to movies? This is the re-beginning so... \"you will see some stuff building around the <i>Avengers<\/i> movie that built off of the core line\"<\/li>\n<li>Zola is 6-7\", Terrax is 10\". BAF size will depend on character size.<\/li>\n<li>Vonner \"maybe the Comic-Con [Sentinel deco] will show up at retail\" - \"there's a good chance that it will\"<\/li>\n<li>Thinking about remakes\/re-do's in ML? \"I'm not going to do another Banshee\" When it makes sense will go back and redo characters that didn't live up to plans<\/li>\n<li>Prototypes from the old Fans Choice poll can show up, \"thats where Constrictor came from\"<\/li>\n<li>Possible to do a \"star wars saga legends\" like line of reissued popular figures<\/li>\n<li>The movie 6\" figures are required to have a separate \"movie style\" scale which is why they were smaller than ML figures<\/li>\n<li>Jesse Falcon thanks them for bringing back Marvel Legends, Hasbro team kisses his ass a lot now. Vonner, \"you owe a debt of gratitude to this man\"<\/li>\n<li>Julius Marx brings up the problem with non-appearing running changes. Is there a contingency plan for scalpers, essentially?
