Major dilemma...
1) If get Ultimate Thor, but didn't manage to get Ultimate versions of Iron Man and Captain America previously. But I got meself an Ultimate Hawkeye because I like the design.
2) Therefore, I went and purchased all movie versions of Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk in this latest Avengers packaging. And Loki too. Just to pair him with Red Skull from Captain America line from last year. But I'm missing Nick Fury. And unsure if there'll be Black Widow and Hawkeye in later waves.
3) But should I continue with comic versions? I only have Captain America (modern blue, red, white) and Commander Steve Rogers, Modern Thor, Modular Armour Iron Man, Red Hulk, World War Hulk, Skaar, Ronin, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Spider-Woman, Black Widow, Yellowjacket, Spider-Man, Iron Spidey, Astonishing Wolverine, Quicksilver, Wonder Man, Daredevil (classic red costume)... So my Avengers is kinda rojak with a mix of Classic, New and Heroic Age. And let's not get me started on Dark Avengers. I have Iron Patriot, Dark Spider-Man, Dark Wolverine, Dark Hawkeye, Sentry but I'm missing Moonstone Ms. Marvel. And still no sign of Ares and Marvel Boy. And Marvel Comics has a new Dark Avengers now. And Thunderbolts is being re-titled Dark Avengers soon so I'm pretty sure we'll get a mix of old, present and some new faces.
Sucks to be a completist nowadays, eh? Well, I'm not a completist when it comes to the MU line but it sure disappoints big time once you start a collection and either you're missing an exclusive character or it never gets produced. I'm sure fellow collectors like you guys know the feeling, right?
I share your dilemma .It's hard to complete the entire MU line if you start collecting later .Of course ,it's different if you don't mind forking out extra for those rare figs and also on variants .1) If get Ultimate Thor, but didn't manage to get Ultimate versions of Iron Man and Captain America previously. But I got meself an Ultimate Hawkeye because I like the design.

There are so many outfit / costume variations for each MU character and Hasbro already churned out some of these for the usual suspects (Cap A ,IM ,Thor ,Spidey ,Wolvie) but for me ,this does not justify the reason to buy them all .Unless you're a true completist .
It's bad enuf with price increment ,shortage of articulation ,lack of accesories and exclusion of figure stands .
So I'm just content that most of the Avengers ,X-Men and some independent superheroes had made their presense in the 3 3/4" line .Not gonna chase after the rare ,overpriced and variant figs .
Edit
I read somewhere that movie series Hawkeye and Black Widow will be released as part of Wave 3 while Fury is in Wave 4 .
