We all know Marvel Legends has it's share of repeat characters...but come on, admit it, there's gotta be yet another variation you're secretly dying for. Let's hear it!

Mine is pretty simple - I'd like a Ben Grimm w/ removable helmet, the one he wore at first and various other times. Shirtless or with a tank top and long pants would be great to give him the look he sported in 93 or so when his face was screwed up by Wolverine for a while. It seems the new 2 packs would be a great medium for toys with removable armor and such.


I guess I'd also dig an Eric Masterson Thor with the whole face guard look.

So, whatcha got?

Wolverine with ASM costume accurate to how it was drawn in Civil war(w/3 rectangles on the gloves/boots). Spy Wolverine(like in the flashbacks when he worked with Sabretooth and Maverick). Ditko inspired Spiderman. Armored Captain America(mid 90s). Redone modular Iron Man. Heroes Return Iron Man. Scarlett Spider.

Wait, isn't Scarlett Spider in the Ares BAF wave?

I'd like to see some of the other War Machine designs from their own series, starting with Rhodes himself. Beyond that, I'd like Hulkbuster Iron Man, Morlock Storm, and Wolverine as "Patch".

He is, but that's the costume he used as Spiderman, I want the original predominantly red suit, w/blue vest.

Ah, I was curious if that's what you meant. Now that I think about it, I'd like Peter in his Iron Spider armor as well.

A Scarlett Witch that looks good would be at the top of the list. Another for me would be Silver Centurion Iron man.

Ah man some good picks so far guys, I'd buy everything mentioned so far

Scarlet Witch is DEFINITELY in dire need of a new figure. The TB one is so goofy. One of the worst changes from proto to release ever imo. I like Hasbro's female figs a good bit so far, well...minus White Queen but that goes without saying eh. Anyway, from what we've seen in the last few lines I think they could handle her decently. She wouldn't end up a total twig at least.

You know, I'd also like them to do a new Psylocke. The one TB put out is fairly decent, but I'm not happy with the face. One that goes for the sultry Asian look Jim Lee made famous would be great. She could use some psychic blade accessories too.

I would love that too. The climax of the clone saga was the first comic I ever got


I would love to see a new Ultron that actually looks like Ultron but that isn't overused...

Hmm... I guess I'm trying to think of an Iron Man armor, but I can't think of one at the moment. Silver Centurion Iron Man was made by the way.. I would mind a new version though.

I'd like the Alex Ross colors Spidey... I really love that suit and I'm pretty sure it was never made?

New Jim Lee Cyke(heck use most of Forge's parts ta da!)
Jim Lee Jean(we've had X3 Jean, Phoenix Jean, Marvel Girl Jean, why not the best look?)
Phoenix/Dark Phoenix(size down the icons mold)
Modular Armor Iron Man(FO one is ok but really to small, even the movie armor have larger heads!)
Magneto(we need a new non ML1 IM based Magneto badly)
Ultron(a more classic one would be nice)

Yeah, gotta admit I'd go for a modern version of Luke myself. I like the one they put out since it's really cool to have him and IF standing together on my shelf but I would like to see the more modern version as well.

I'd like to see an updated Captain America. I know Marvel Select just put the one out in the new suit and it's fine but I don't care for the face. It's too old or something is just off with it.

I would also love a Phalanx leader Ultron. He looked totally rad in Annihilation Conquest.

I almost said I thought they should've made a modular armor Iron Man as well, AlphaPrime, but I forgot there was one already and I've never seen it in person so I don't know it's flaws or anything. I thought it looked pretty neat.
