Retro style Marvel Legends Doctor Doom... Sold Out

This is kinda lame. How can a preorder be "sold out"!? But, yeah, Hasbro Pulse... what can I say? Hope for Third party sellers to have one? It'll hurt a lot less than trying to get a Chadwick Boseman Black Panther figure. (Ebay has gone insane with the overpriced T'Challa figures.)
 I know what you're thinking:
Same Doom from the Super Skrull wave, with the Ultimate Nullifier 2 books and flame effects? Totally not worth it...
Dude it's Amore vintage dr. Doom with a lighter green tunic and kick ass Fantastic Four vintage inspired card.
Getting him will make this to figure the actual Doom in my display and the previous Dooms would be Doombots.

I got to be honest this is a great way to refresh Doctor Doom but I would be more interested in a refresh of the Fantastic Four... 8 figures total: Hear me out:
Four 2 packs:
The F4 would be in their Light Blue and White versions.

-Reed should be a redeco of the Walgreens figure but with 2 extra new arms. (In addition to the normal extra arms that the Walgreens figure came with) a Mallet Punch arm like the ToyBiz figure had and the other arm could be stretched (not as exaggerated as the original arms) with interchangeable hand port for either the normal hand or the stretchy finger hand from the Super Skrull wave Reed.

-Sue#1 would be a Fully Visible Sue, a redeco from the Walgreens version with a second head based on her 60s short haired look. Ccessories would be invisible hand and effect from the S.Skrull wave Sue.

-Sue#2 would be the same as Sue#1 but in clear Plastic.

-Johnny#1 would be a Human Torch in the Kaine Body. Give him all the Flame effects possible.

-Johnny#2 should be a flame off Johnny on the Kaine Body with a couple of clip-on flame effects. He should have 3 heads: a Reuse of Modern Johnny heaf, a new Classic Johnny Storm head, and a redeco of the Torch head to have a flaming hair Johnny.

-Ben would be a redeco of the Walgreens Thing.

I know what you're thinking:
Nefty, you just suggested 6 figures to cover the Fantastic Four. What are the two remaining slots for? Oh no you wouldn't...

Yes, I am going to:

F4 She-Hulk! Getting a She-Hulk in scale with the new She-Hulk but wearing the Fantastic Four outfit she used to wear at the time.

Final Figure is Cryst  y'all know it's the Bombastic Bagman! He's only here because he wears a Fantastic Four uniform. Spidey Redeco in blue and black F4 suit with Namor feet.

The way I'd pack these is:
Reed and Sue#2
Sue#1 and Johnny#1
Ben and Jen (not a Bennifer reference)
And lastly Johnny#2 and Bagman.
