It's really a lose, lose prospect for Hasbro. If they gave us Maria Hill in a one per case assortment like they did with ScarJoBW, then collectors would bitch about scalpers snapping them up, and them being impossible to find. If they put Maria two per case, then she's guaranteed to choke the pegs after the initial rush of collectors and scalpers getting they're fill. This line of thinking is not going to change until (i) Collectors start buying more female figures than we can possibly use, or (ii) Parents start buying girl action figures for their little boys.
Then at least make her an affordable exclusive, or part of a multipack, not a $130 vehicle. For crying out loud, I have other things I'm interested in, does Hasbro really think one figure is enough to get us to buy that out of scale "action feature" toy? Maybe I'm just out of touch, but Skull paid around $40 for his regular Helicarrier, so unless that was super cheap there is no way I'm paying 3 times that for the SDCC version.
