Hulk Retro Wave?

A Hulk wave is tough because so many of the characters should be oversized... but it is what it is

Smart Hulk is the hulk iteration I would want most.
An updated Doc Samson is a must.
A-Bomb is probably necessary... and for me the rest of the wave would be
Ironclad
X-Ray
Vector
Vapor

But I'd happily take Ringmaster in the set over A-Bomb.

Let it sell well so we could get a second series with modern Hulk, Zzax, Savage She Hulk, Bi Beast, Hammer and Anvil - ok, those last two were just sentimental for me because they were the bad guys in one of the earliest hulk books i remember reading.

And I dont need a Hasbro General Ross since I ordered multiples of the FMF General figure
 
They would prob do a few one-off fan channels on Hulk retro cards rather than a wave of 6. Still there are tons of regularish sized characters you could do in a Hulk wave: Ringmaster, Princess Python, Red Harpy, Doc Sampson, 3 of 4 Ufoes, Absorbing Man, Thunderbolt Ross, "Savage" She Hulk in her white onesie, multiple Defenders, & multiple Avengers or Marvel Universe at large villains like Collector or Constrictor that aren't exclusively associated with Hulk but often are.
 
I’d be in for a classic costume Doc Samson, U-Foes, and maybe Zzzax. Aside from that, I’m not much of a Hulk person and I’ve already got a Hulk, She-Hulk, and Leader figure I like.
 
Personally, I think Hasbro doesn't want to start the U-Foes because of the deco, and it's cost, on Vector.

That’s entirely possible. Body-wise, he’s just a Vulcan buck with a maybe-new head. So little to no new additional molding costs there. Which is good because you’re right, his budget would get eaten up on paint deco.
 
They could just release the other U-Foes and not worry about him. Like they do with a lot of other teams.
 
I don't know the economics but is that paint job equal to absolutely no new parts in the budget?

I don't know how they'd "offset", cost-wise, but I've heard so many times in the past how much paint hits cost, so they can't be cheap. Look at just Vector's hands, though. If they gave him fist and blast hands, that alone was be a slew of paint hits.
 
Gotta say I like most of the suggestions so far.
A classic Faceoff redo would be welcome.
Wendigo classic head
Abomination classic and correct size
A-Bomb has a great look.
Red King
Zzzax
These would top my list.

Argh!!! Forgot to include a Doc Sampson redo. The one we have is so wonky 😜

Rick Jones Blue A-Bomb would be at the top of my list for any Hulk deluxe wave.

After that I'd also want:

Bi-Beast
Ironclad
Zzzax
Red King
Lyra

A Hulkbuster soldier 3-pack with an officer with swappable Ross and Talbot heads and then 2 grunts with interchangeable parts.

I'd love a comic Korg, Miek and No-Name Brood 3-pack from the Warbound.

I could see a re-do of Doc Samson at this point. Maybe a Betty, but possibly as Red She-Hulk re-do or as the Harpy.

Oh man, totally forgot about Planet Hulk and the Warbound. Korg, Miek, Caiera… even updated Gladiator and King Hulks would be welcome.
