I don't know if it's the same thing Vangelus was talking about, but I guess I fall into the character specific collecting camp. I try to only get one representation of a character across the different continuities (unless they are really really different, like how Armada Cyclonus had nothing to do with the other Cyclonus'). For me it helps keep my budget down and save on shelf space. It also has taught me patience, I didn't pick up TR Skullcruncher as I already had Fansproject Skullcruncher, but now I get to pick him up as Krok with new colors and new headsculpt which I like as he's more different than picking up the two versiosn of the same guy, it's just a more satisfying purchase. Maybe that helps put it in context for Vangelus?
Marvel stuff: I'm not really a fan of Marvel movie toys(or live action people action figures in general), but I do find the character selection for them to be weird most of the time. There's has a to be a second GotG vol. 2 wave at some point right? Or at least a multi-pack of Gamora, Mantis and Nebula. I kind of view the movie Marvel Legends waves as an excuse for them to sell more obscure characters that would have a harder time getting toys otherwise. Star Wars stuff: Chopper is amazing, but I wont hear any bad words about R2-D2 or C-3PO. Greatest love story in the galaxy. And I'm pretty sure the made Revan a dude just so they could have a heteronormative relationship and child with Bastila. They have descendants in the MMO.
I never minded Revan being canonically male (though I played KOTOR after the canon was decided so I just went with that), mostly because the Jedi Exile is canonically female and unlike Revan she's actually an interesting character. (And unlike Revan she will probably never be reintroduced into new canon. )
The Shocker uses sound vibrations to cause shockwaves, not electricity. This is the worst Marvel podcast.
Search for "Hello Carbot Patron" and "Hello Carbot Dire" for the really Brave-y ones, "Tobot Magma" for the kinda okay football player one, "Tobot Deltatron" for the one you should be getting before Magma
