Of what's been revealed - Kingpin (which I think the wave is on the way to me from DS already), Gambit, Blink, Corvious Glave and Ebon Maw, Mystique and Professor X. Of course there's more I want but that's the things I REALLY want.

Of rumors and high speculation: My hope is that we can see a Jim Lee Storm in either color by year's end even if it's in the vintage wave. Really hoping the X-Force wave will have a Sunspot and an updated Cannonball. and rumored Walgreen's Moonstar of course. And I'm hoping that maybe if we've been REALLY good Hasbro will include an alternate Selene head with the black outfit Emma Frost. It wouldn't be exactly straight from the comics but I'd be thrilled.

And of course, Firestar. Nevermind there is no real rumor of her but the fervor for her is only increasing. Hasbro has to cave eventually.

I think the top of everybody's list is gonna be one of two things: Scorpion and classic Vulture on the Spider-Man side of things (I think at least one of them is a strong possibility) and the rest of X-Men Gold Team on the X-Men side of things.


I also want to see them give us a few more members of New Mutants, 90s X-Force, X-Factor and Alpha Flight. Also, the Brotherhood.

And with all of the classic Avengers and Avengers villains we've been getting lately, we could definitely use some more Avengers in their classic looks, ESPECIALLY key players like Iron-Man, Thor and Hulk.

And this is a personal want, but I've been craving a comic book Iron Spider since forever. We're also gonna need Morlun to go on our Spiderverse shelf (it's shocking to me that with as many Spiderverse characters we get, we never got the main villain) and a Mr. Negative that can double as both the video game version of the character and a comic book version.

I'll second Scorpion, classic Vulture, and Mr. Negative. I'd also like a figure of Spiderman in his red and black suit from SM: FFH. Maybe even some Renew Your Vows figures of the Parker family.

For Avengers, I'd like classic Hulk, classic Thor, Captain Mar-vel, and Dark Ms. Marvel (I like the costume Carol had on A: EMH more than her classic costume).

For X-Men, 70s versions of Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler. Uncanny X-Force versions of Wolverine and Psylocke.

Personally I wanna see a Galactus BAF, the Toybiz one is showing it's age and while I love the MU masterworks version I'd prefer a classic helmet version, I'd even take it on the MU body! Of course they probably won't bother with him until they make a new FF movie haha

Well if they go with a more cosmic arc after avengers endgame ( please God let them bring in rick rider nova damnit! ) then maybe we may get a galactis baf! And quasar, and ronin and kosmo. .

My issue with the concept of Hasbro making a Galactus BAF is that so far none of their BAFs have been in that larger size range as Galactus needs to be. I think the MCU Hulkbuster might be their biggest BAF since the line started its current format and that figure still doesn't hit close to the size of the MU masterworks Galactus. So I'm thinking if we get a new release on Galactus it'll be like how they just did the Sentinel set, that said I'd be interested in them doing that. They could use the opportunity to make a more classic inspired head and then the included figure (as Logan was with the Sentinel) could be Firelord or maybe even Stardust.

My big dream figures for the line in 2019 are still mostly the same as last year except that this year we're actually getting a Beta Ray Bill (though not my 1st choice of design) so he's off the wishlist. Dream figures are still Kang the Conqueror, Buscema style Hulk, Simonson style Thor, and Silver Centurion Iron Man. I could really go on for quite a while but those are the 4 I'd really like to see happen.
My zaniest wanted figure right now though would be to get Peter B Parker from Into the Spider Verse complete with removable sweatpants, his unkempt and stubbly unmasked head, and a reuse of the slice of pizza.

[Dr Kain]

Shit, lately I've been forgetting about Scorpion.

Man, I would love to get a small line of Legends just of the designs from Into The Spider-Verse, with newly sculpted heads and bodies based directly on the designs from the movie instead of the complete reuse we saw with the Target 2-pack. At least the 6 main Spider-people, as well as the other Peter, and Kingpin, if not also Scorpion, Prowler, Tombstone, and [REDACTED for spoiler reasons].

[hasbroherofan]

I’m hoping 2019 finally gets us a Shang-Chi. Squirrel Girl is also another no brainer, to the point where I don’t get what the holdup is.

Silver Samurai as well. The X-Men need more baddies!

Time for some lists:

Top Ten Marvel Legends of 2018:

1. ANAD Wolverine. Not a terribly impressive figure in terms of articulation, but one of my most-wanted characters since Laura Kinney inherited the Wolverine title
2. X-23. I am a Laura Kinney fan
3. Nakia. One of MLs best photoreal likenesses so far, in my opinion.
4. ANAD Magneto. Not my favourite costume but a good figure and the barehead really captures his character well
5. 90s X-Force Cable. Looks like the figure stepped out of a comic page
6. Sabretooth. Same as above
7. Domino. The usual problems with female MLs aside, she looks perfect
8. Tiger Stripe Wolverine. Good to have such an iconic look for the character
9. DofP Sentinel. Controversial opinion but aside from the inferior paint I think this is a better sentinel than the old BAF
10. Typhoid Mary. Extremely good paint apps, very striking to look at.

Favourite BAF: Apocalypse

Most wanted for 2019:
1. Honey Badger
2. Nightcrawler
3. Mystique (announced, thankfully)
4. Beast (ditto)
5. Feral

Favourite Marvel comics for 2018:
1. Jessica Jones by Kelly Thompson
2. X-Men Red by Tom Taylor
3. Domino by Gail Simone
4. X-23 by Mariko Tamaki
5. Phoenix Resurrection by Matthew Rosenberg

A good year for Marvel Legends and Marvel comics in general, for me at least.

[Nutimus Prime]

Found the Captain Marvel wave at 2 Walmarts yesterday. Only picked up Helmet Captain Marvel, Fury, and Genis-Vell. I'm hoping to find the rest on sale, probably from Amazon lol.

I didn't notice that Jude Laws character was actually named Yon-Rogg. Noticed that when looking at the box. I'm excited to see if it means anything in the movie ala Dr Strange and Mordos conflict.

I would LOVE a new Galactus or even a reissue of the MU one. I passed on him and Sentinels when they were $30 at TJMaxx. I only collected Transformers at the time. Really wish I'd have bought them lol. But I really want a nice Stardust to go with him.

Actually, I think a cosmic wave or set would be awesome. Either classic Beta Ray Bill, Ronan, Quasar, etc. or even a Heralds of Galactus set. I just really like the cosmic side of Marvel.

[DarthKamen]

Did you see if the jacketed Carol looks...less like Amy Poehler?

[Harbinger]

The kree sentry wave kinda feels like the figure equivalent of a sharknado movie.

I definitely think they should give us a Quasar and an updated comic Ronan so we can round out the main Annihilators. While a classic Beta Ray Bill is my most wanted of what you mentioned I seriously doubt Hasbro is going to give us one any time soon since they're giving us the modern look and I imagine he's still way too obscure for them to give more than one figure in short time.

Hate to break it to you, but like I mentioned earlier, after seeing in hand pics of them online, they didn't do anything to fix the likeness on Brie Larson.

A good likeness on the character would have been the only thing that would have made me invest in that figure. Hasbro definitely failed on that one.

[DarthKamen]

That's a shame. Thanks letting me know.

I hope the green suit ends up with a pretty okay likeness.

[Boy Blunder]

Hey, does anyone happen to have a Scarlet Spider (Kaine) they're willing to part with, with the SP//dr piece (Left Arm) as well? He's the last full figure I need from the wave, and one of only two pieces I need to complete the BAF. My local guy sold out of the wave in short order, and Amazon is no help (and retail is even less help, since I've never seen the wave there).

Also, I know the odds are low, but I'm also looking for the BAF part that comes with House of M Spidey (SP//dr Right Leg). I have BAF parts to trade for it, or I'm willing to just buy it.

Those are the last two figures from 2018 that I've been trying to get, and I'd hate to put together my Top Ten without trying to actually get the figures of the year I wanted

[BagJo]

Now that Marvel is publishing Conan the Barbarian comics again, what do you guys think are the odds of him getting a Marvel Legends figure?

[redfox]

I dunno but I’d buy that for a dollar!

[JCarterVA]

Picked up Tony Stark/Mark I 2pk for $19 and Ant-man/Yellowjacket 2pk for $35 at Walmart. In non-Marvel legends, picked up Harley Quinn DC Multiverse for $15, Bossk & IG-88 Arxhive series, Ultron Marvel Select and 2006 Emma Frost loose. Awesome weekend celebrating the new year with the Girlfriend at the beach.

I ran into Kaine twice today while I working. If I see him again, I'll grab him for you.

[Dr Kain]

I finally set some time aside to take some pictures I've been meaning to do for a while now.

Not good. Marvel has the comics rights, not the merchandise rights, at least according to all the public statements.

That sounds right. Conan isn't a Marvel-owned character so they don't have the right to do him in Legends, like if hypothetically Hasbro loses Star Wars then they can't sneak Star Wars figures into the Legends line just because Marvel is doing Star Wars comics.
