Oh... I definitely and totally want a comic Echo figure - that would be awesome. And I totally hope they do make an MCU figure for those that celebrate - I just don't find it that surprising that they haven't.
Also, as far as only wearing her costume for the end of the last episode, what she wears for the rest of the series still borrows from her comic costume as well. Her jacket has the circle of triangles by the shoulder. I am very aware I'm in the minority here, but if they made figures of both versions, I would get both without question.
This is pretty easily Google-able. I aint gonna post a bunch of article titles, but tons of headlines about it debuting number 1 on Hulu and Disney+, etc. Also many articles citing it as the most inexpensive show to produce. Now, I have no idea what Disney needed it to do to be deemed a success, so who knows if claims are accurate. But you can easily find headlines that are positive about the debut. Including one by Variety which labeled the show as a success. Given Variety is the most trusted source for news about the entertainment industry, I tend to defer to their anysis on these types of matter. Also, I personally do not see the point in being a jerk about its streaming numbers and such, but hey you do you
I'm not being a jerk - you're quoting unsubstantiated information and when I asked for the sources you refused and tried to make me the bad guy.
Since you couldn't/wouldn't provide evidence of your claim I just googled "Variety echo marvel" and found these relevant articles:
Nielsen Top 10: 'Echo' Debuts at No. 10
'Echo' Disney Plus Review: Another Marvel Misfire
A Marvel show debuting at No. 10 is hardly a success, and the only reason it even did that is because they dropped all five episodes at once. I'm not going to entertain "tons of headlines" since most websites just copy and paste (steal) info from others. So just sticking with Variety, labeling Echo a "success" even with a giant asterisk is disingenuous at best.
And that's not even taking into account the quality of the show itself, which I'm not going to rehash.
She still deserves a figure, but I would rather her street gear from Hawkeye. But at this point I doubt we will ever see her again.
If they made an updated comic Ronin with an Echo head (and Clint, and Blade) I'd buy several 🙂

Did you even read your own articles cause the 1st one you quoted said this:
“Echo,” the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s newest TV show, made its debut on Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings in 10th place for the week of Jan. 8-14. The series was watched for 731 million minutes in its first six days of availability on Disney+.
This marks a success for the MCU, as its TV projects typically fail to make Nielsen’s overall Top 10 chart when they first premiere, instead debuting on the streaming originals chart and progressing towards the overall chart over a matter of weeks. For example, Season 2 of “Loki” premiered in October but didn’t appear on the chart until its finale aired in November.
See that bolded word SUCCESS. So yeah. Variety right there says it was a success. So guess what....it's a success. Don't take my word for it, use YOUR OWN QUOTED SOURCE.
Ya have to read beyond the headlines.
I think it's sort of funny because you're both kind of making the same point. Most of Marvel's content doesn't make the top 10 list until the final episode drops specifically because there are a bunch of streaming consumers who wait to watch shows until all of the episodes are available (people trained by the Netflix model) - Echo dropped all of it's episodes at once, which meant those people didn't have to wait on that show and could in fact binge it straight away.

That is accurate. But never the less, Variety is even calling the debut a success in the breakdown and they're an industry source that would have an idea what is a good debut or not. Whether someone hated the show personally is up to the viewer, but this debate started cause they laughed at the claim that the show was successful in a jerkish way. But that isn't the picture that is painted if one researches the results.
I proved my point, so ready to move on to better things
Is there another MCU character other than Echo that has appeared in more than one film/show and been the title character of their own show or film that has not gotten a figure? I can't think of one.
She's overdue, even if I do agree with the logic that her figure would be a tough sell.
I am hoping she will appear in a DD MCU wave when Born Again gets released.
@fac Great question!
I also can't think of one. Werewolf by Night only had the one appearance.
But yeah, I also get the logic. I do. Just... want. heh. But I'll be very happy if they 1) do an actual wave for Born Again, and 2) Echo is in it.
All info I saw regarding Echo was positive on the viewership and that a second season was on the table. Unless that narrative changed, that was last I heard.
Hahaha, best laugh of my entire day! Please, please sight the source for this info.
I'm your huckleberry.

Still laughing?
P.S. Google is your friend.
Echoe's look from the final episode would be ideal, but at this point I'll take any figure of her they do. The figure I want to see them do, even though I don't think they ever will, is She-Hulk in a suit.
@wil man, not to be the "oh, put them in a set with Daredevil" guy but maybe put her in a set with Daredevil! I know they already did a Very Good Lawyer figure, but I guess that means it'll be cheaper. Or do a yellow repaint of the Daredevil from the set with Echo I also suggested.

Not to beat this dead horse but two of those articles pull their info from the Variety article I posted which is the same one you posted and one references Deadline. So again, it's multiple outlets cut and pasting the same info from two sources.
I will cede this point - the article uses the word "success" and others copy paste. But anyone who is not being disingenuous knows that "success" comes with an asterisk of this is just PR trying to find ANYthing positive about a disastrous premiere/production. If you want to measure "success" in days, okay. But typically when we measure "success" in this industry it's over a period of time and Echo's lack of longevity on any viewership lists or any follow-up articles about its "success" speaks to that. Silently.
