General Marvel Legends

The Iron Man poll will begin tomorrow morning.
Please visit the Iron Man Wish List thread and get your votes in or alter your votes!
 
@Beamish Will do! I'll be looking forward to the Iron Man poll! Let me know if and when you do a Wish List thread for "Secret Wars".

In regards to my posts, I'm pleased it's already gotten some likes and responses. Attuma, M'Baku and the Mandarin almost made the cut, but I was going by how many responses I saw and the messages I got from friends. The other two characters who almost made the list were Century and, surprisingly, purple-and-blue suit Boomerang. Of everyone on the Top 40 of my collage pics, the one I was most surprised by was that armored/Sinister Syndicate suit Rhino made the cut. I certainly would buy him, for sure, but I'm surprised I saw so many requests for him from my friends' messages.

I've looked over posts on several message boards over the past week and looked over various Top 10 lists and wish lists of characters that fans hope to see get made into "Marvel Legends" figures. I also got messages from some of my friends on what characters they hope to see made. Just for fun, here are some collage images that I made of the most requested characters I found while I was looking around and from friends' messages.

The only one I forgot to include was the Mandarin. That said, I'm curious what you guys think of the choices.

And because no one demanded it, these are the characters that I hope get made into "Marvel Legends" figures in the not too distant future.

I know a lot of my wish list picks are remakes of characters that Hasbro has made before, but a lot of them I included because I missed out on their previous figures the first time around and some need updating on new body molds and with better head sculpts (I'm looking at YOU, savage green Hulk). It would also be nice if we could finally get a classic Lizard that wasn't sold exclusively at one place and didn't sell out after being available online for fifteen minutes.

What do you guys think?

There are a lot of figures on this list that I think are must-dos over the next few years for Hasbro. I could see Shocker getting another release with deco on the quilting pattern. I understand Lizard was tough to get ahold of, I snagged 2 for each head to be displayed - but I think it was popular enough to warrant another release.

With perfect new dedicated bodies for Punisher. Daredevil and Spider-Man - Hasbro should really be throwing out some classic costume releases on them for each. At this point it's annoying to have these bodies rolled out but not used for evergreen versions of these characters.

The new Cyclops body with a comic head is also a no-brainer. I think most people have kit-bashed the animated head on the '97 body - it's time for something official.

If this Maximum Thor is a massive hit, classic Thor with a wired cape needs to be in 2027.
 
Been struggling to keep up with the Marvel side of the threads here lately so forgive me if I'm late on this, but got shipping notification for Red She Hulk from Pulse today. It's not my dream look for Betty but I've wanted a Red Hulk on a well-articulated buck pretty much since I started collecting Legends so I'm pretty psyched.
 
Following up on Enforcer's comments, it is odd that we're not seeing more classic "evergreen" figures for Marvel's popular characters. I'm honestly surprised by how long it finally took us to get a new sold-separately figure of Daredevil with the new Retro "Secret Wars" wave. Also, I'm still surprised that Hasbro didn't make classic versions for characters like Dracula and the green one-piece swimsuit look for Namorita for their recent "Marvel Legends" figures. I also hope Hasbro does circle back to make more new classic versions of Spider-Man villains into figures sooner than later. As cool as some of the recent Spider-Man figures have been, I'd love to see some more figures of classic Spidey foes back on shelves. While it's nice they re-released previous Retro Spider-Man figures of characters like Electro and the Green Goblin, I'd prefer to see new updated classic versions of characters like Doc Ock, Hobgoblin and Black Cat instead.
 
Man I can't believe I am actually considering getting rid of my 20th Anniversary Cap and Secret Wars Cap. I was messing around with them both and was thinking of taking one of them for my work desk today but I ultimately went with Gamerverse Cap. He just is so how I picture Cap body size wise and so poseable with the butterfly shoulders. I had not really touched the other two Caps since I got him. I need to find a loose Gamerverse one because I am afraid I'll wear this one out. First world problems......
