Do you feel like the writers are going through a 90's Playmates toy checklist?

Has anyone noticed that the writers seem to be introducing almost every notable mutant from the old 80's/90's Playmates toyline into an episode? Its almost like they're going through a checklist and saying, "Ok we introduced Wyrm, now we need to bring in Scumbug and Antrax. Oh don't forget about Wingnut/Screwloose next, etc"

It seems like in the first seasons the writers were creating new original mutants mostly. Like Dogpound, Fishface, Tiger Claw, Spiderbitez, Snakeweed, Cockroach Terminator, Squirrelnoids, etc. However now it seems like they're more concerned about bringing back every old Playmates toy mutant they can possibly do. There's less new mutants now and more old characters being reimagined.

There's actually only a few notable old mutants left not introduced yet. Groundchuck, Dirtbag, Man Ray, and Merdude remain a select few....and I get the feeling we'll get around to seeing them eventually.
