General Marvel Legends

We could - couldn't most of these get reused for New Mutants? And Beast already has multiple uses, as stated.

Plus, Angel's wings are already made. It's really only Iceman who would mostly be a one-off, and while this look isn't the bespoke Iceman sculpt I want, it's deserving.

Since Champion of the Universe is on his way, do you think it's more or less than likely that:
-Comic based Grandmaster and Collector are on Hasbro's radar?
-If they are on Hasbro's radar, who would they be in a 2-pack with?

I figure they are on Hasbro's radar and they would both go into separate 2-packs. The budget going to the taller Elders, leaving the standard size characters to be low budget, less tooling than the bigger Elders.

Who would go into your 2-packs? Would they be characters associated with the two Elders, or just cosmic based?
I'd go:
Phyla-Vell
Starhawk
 
I admit I would buy a team of first appearance X-Men and a silver age Magneto. I don’t think it would ever get top billing in my collection since I was a 90’s kid. But they might be tied for third place with Giant Sized team

Grandmaster and Collector have much bigger profiles now thanks to the MCU. And Grandmaster has a comic accurate look as the main character bringing heroes together in one of the Marvel mobile games, I believe.

I'd be down for both the O5 (feels like I dodged a bullet NOT being able to get that boxed set I tried to buy for a long while) and the time traveling looks really were cool, especially Jean. Hasbro would get me for both for sure.
Its not a great set, but for a group pose of the initial team it does the job. As noted, we really need a human Beast which could work with this set, graduation suit, and X-Factor.

Quite possible, yes. So I'd say more likely.

For the Collector, Korvac would be cool. And even though he didn't create those two characters, a Collector/Korvac two pack would be a nice tribute to the late Jim Shooter, I think.

Grandmaster? Well, this may be problematic because of rights issues, but Hardcase from the Ultraforce/Avengers crossover would be cool. Yes, Marvel has the rights to the Ultraverse characters, but ... there are apparently issues with contracts to creators and royalties that would have to be paid. So we should not hold our collective breath waiting for any of the Malibu characters.

Other than that, the only other option I can think of for the Grandmaster in a two pack would be another Elder of the Universe, one of his brothers like the Gardner or the Possessor. Or maybe a sister like Lady Carina Korvac.
