I'd bring back the TRU/DTC style 6 packs or maybe even BJ's 8-pack, but not be as limited in concepts as they sometimes were. This way...work in some lesser known characters who in vintage style, because it'd be nice to add something new in. These would be 2 sets released every 3 months or so.

Toxo Viper V1
