As topic says- which ones, how, why, etc. With Daredevil, Punisher, Magneto, Bullseye, Hulk and even Storm getting re-dos, now's as good a time as ever, right?

Mine?

Captain America- For the arguable protagonist (or one of two) of at least HALF of Marvel's event stuff (Galactic Storm, Siege, Civil War, Fear Itself, Avengers vs JLA, Secret Wars, Disassembled, etc), and the leader of the Marvel heroes, why has Cap received a sub par figure? It was fine at first, but now, he seems so out of scale, it's like he's back to sickly Rogers. It'd be nice to have a fully articulated, metallic finish scaled Captain America, with a better shield and better paint apps.

Red Skull- This guy needs a regular MU release, and one with a more menacing face and better body. Besides, a suit figure would sell like hotcakes for the custom fodder alone.

Cyclops- Okay, X-Men Origins, but the figure still needs a drastic update. It's workable for now, but barely.

Hawkeye- Modern update, please.

bettered is such an awful word The right word is IMPROVED.
What MU figures do you want to see improved?

anyways, they are coming out with improved figs like were seeing with daredevil, punisher, and others from the first year.

Ill be happy if they fix the problems with the arms on captain marvel or guardian where they cant put their arms to their sides, they just stop at a certain angle.

Did you not get the Jim Lee one? He's fantastic. I wouldn't mind a better figure using the current costume.

I'd say it's about time to ditch the Silver Surfer/Human Torch mold. I'm sure almost everyone agrees.

A better Black Widow - but that might be coming with the Avengers movie.

A better Shockwave - technically, Spider-Man but the reviews of it have been so awful it might be nice to get a new one for the US.

Better Thor's friends figures - ie. Odin, Warriors Three, Sif, etc. Once again, Thor movie not MU but might be a good place to fix it.

Alot of figures we orginally got and had gripes over are getting changed, such as gambit,bullseye,daredevil, and more recently jim lee cyclops, deadpool 2pack, the newer 2pack punisher is 10x better then the first wave. I also enjoy the galactus silver surfer over the original release. I'd prefer seeing a better Phoenix figure with an actual flame back drop, I love the new beast coming out, but would of prefered jim lee's style beast. Other then that, better females, and more weapons!

To be brutally honest, no MU figure is perfect. Some come very close, but there is always room for improvement. I just don't want to see any figures that are a step back.

Having said that, my answer to the OP's question is this: All of them.

Go big or stay at home.

I agree 100%. The Black Panther and Blade need an overhaul.
