Super Hero Squad obsessiveness
If you ever needed concrete proof of just how obsessive and geeky I am, here it is.
Alternately, if you like the Super Hero Squad figures and have, like me, been frustrated by the proliferation of repaints (the exact same figure, just in a different color uniform) and duplicate figures (the exact same figure in every way, but released several times with different companions in the package) and wished you had some reference for which figures are which and who they come with...here it is.

The above is a giant Excel spreadsheet that I made for my own reference. I pulled up images of every Super Hero Squad figure in existence and described them and designated repaint groups and added a column to count them, with repaints being counted individually (so that three different repaints of Spider-Man count as three figures) and duplicates being counted by fraction (so two identical Spider-Mans from different packages each count as half a figure). Variations in shade of color (dark blue versus light blue) are not counted as repaints, although I tried to remember to note the difference in my description. Duplicates don't get their own group designations, but have identical descriptions and fractional counts, so you should be able to figure them out.
If anything isn't clear in the spreadsheet, feel free to ask for an explanation. Well, anything except my descriptions. They make sense to me. If you can't figure out what I mean, you'll have to look up the images yourself. :-)
*hugs my spreadsheet*
