So I have a question, who are the people on teh back of the boxes that don't have any names? The Thanos one is something like Allied Alias, there is a woman with Scarlet Witch, two different Spider-Girls, someone opposite Spider-Woman, etc. WHy don't they put their actual names on their boxes?

It's basically a way to cheat the system and put out more figures per wave. Retailers will only buy waves of so many figures, but they're not especially picky about variants. So by putting multiple characters under one name, they can get two or three more characters per wave without technically going past the number of units retailers want in an assortment. It only seems to work with less widely known characters. You won't see Spider-man passed off as a variant for example, he's too well-known.

Basically Hasbro got wise to how retailers only ever over-order one wave of a few characters and jam-pack shelves with them. So by introducing variants they can have more shelf diversity.
This is also the reason you'll sometimes see characters from different series mixed together. Retailers won't necesarily want a certain wave of one series, but for example throw some Spider-man figures in that wave (and whatever figures they replaced go into Spidey's wave) and they'll buy both. That's why the upcoming Avengers wave is such a hodge-podge. |

SHF Iron Man Mark 43 is exactly what Mark 42 was, only more red, and with even tighter hip and shoulder joints - so tight it's almost a problem.
But it looks great. Oh, and so far the hand guards are staying on. |
