If I could pick the next 5 waves of MU...
 

I know there are several threads similar to this already, but indulge me for a moment. While I was browsing the endless pegs of Ironmen the other day I started to think about what I would include in the next five or so waves if I were a designer at Hasbro. Keep in mind there are usually 5 figures per wave and Hasbro seems to feel the need to include at least one Ironman, Spiderman, Wolverine, or Captain America in each wave. With that in mind, here we go...

Wave 1 - The X-Men Wave
1. Professor X
2. Rogue (Modern with Jim Lee variant)
3. Beast (Classic furry with cat face variant)
4. Mr. Sinister
5. Wolverine (Astonishing/Avengers)

Wave 2 - The Spidey Wave
1. Doctor Octopus
2. Kingpin
3. Aunt May
4. Vulture
5. Spiderman (Paper Bag)

Wave 3 - The Avengers Wave
1. Scarlet Witch
2. Ares
3. She Hulk
4. Kang
5. Ironman (Modular armor. The real modular armor)

Wave 4 - The Cosmic Wave
1. Firelord
2. BetaRay Bill
3. Terrax
4. Beyonder
5. Vance Astro (ala headband and trench coat Captain America)

Wave 5 - The Villain Wave (aka the wave too cool for them to ever make)
1. Mephisto
2. Dracula
3. Lady Death
4. Dormamu
5. Wolverine (Lord of the Vampires)

Call me crazy, but to me every one of those figures would be must buys.

So how would you fill out the next few waves if you had your say?

I thought this was serious until I read Aunt May. Now I see you're just having us on.

LOL. I really wanted to put Mysterio in Aunt May's spot, but I couldn't imagine Hasbro having the shutzpa to make a wave where 4 out of 5 figures are villains. Besides, it also wouldn't be Hasbro if there wasn't at least one figure at which you could roll your eyes.

LOL yup aunt may would be eye rollling material for sure, but as a Hasbro wh*re id buy it LOL

I'd love to see Gambit redone in the MU style. Otherwise, your waves look pretty good.

I don't think Marvel has the rights to Lady Death and she would fall over anyway; I think she's too top heavy for double knee joints.

I was actually surprised at myself, but I don't like the idea of a Major Victory Vance Astro at all. I think he needs the containment suit and the shield both if anyone's going to buy him.

But the list was good. if we get half of what's on your list by the time the line finished, I'll be happy. Wolverine, Lord of the Vampires was inspired. I think the line needs some more What If...? characters in the mix.

I want this as well. This is the reason why I'm holding out on getting that XMO Gambit. I didn't like it so much.

Also, I would like to see Lady Deathstrike, a redone Daredevil and Bullseye (2-pack?!) with better accessories, an Astonishing Wolverine with a mask (just the XMO version with Colossus.. give it a masked headsculpt.. was never able to find the 2-pack so yeah).. the rest are more or less covered by OP's list.

Also, please stop dishing out anymore Iron Man and Spiderman (regular versions). However, I wouldn't mind a REAL modular armor mold since its one of my favorite armors. As for Spiderman, I'm gonna cry if I see another regular version after that Captain Britain 2-pack.. that one's excused because it has better articulation. Only eventual Spidey fig I would be able to stomach is the FF costume. Just no more regular Spidey. Please. -_-

^I forgot to add Dan Ketch Ghost Rider.. and make sure it has a bike. And a new Red Skull, though there are rumors that he will be one of the figs in the Cap line. Hoping for a Baron Zemo as well.

And since they can't get Punisher right, just make a Frankencastle. lol

how did you leave NOVA out of the cosmic wave?

and we need a good Blackheart & Omega Red in villian wave

If I could I'd make a Ghost Rider Wave
Ghost Rider (Dan Ketch)
Vengeance
Blackheart
Blackout
Johnny Blaze (with a variant with robotic limbs)
Ghost Rider 2099

Personally I'd pick:

Wave 5: (Cosmic)
Nova Prime
Starlord
Quasar (new)
Spider-Man (Captain Universe)
Rom the Space Knight

Wave 6: (Avengers/ForceWorks)
Scarlet Witch (Force works short hair)
Century
US Agent (Force works)
Mandarin (Hands of the mandarin version)
Ironman (Modular, based on the IM season 2 design)

Wave 7: (Changing Directions)
Vance Astro
Spider-Man (Future Foundation)
Venom (New paramilitary one)
Ghost Rider (Daniel Ketch Cyberpunk version)
Songbird

Wave 8: (Of Gods and Men)
Storm (in asgardian storm bringer costume with hammer)
Ironman (Thor buster armor)
Doctor Strange (Trenchcoat version like the animated movie)
Ares
Thunderstrike

Wave 9: (Nothing is what it seems)
Mockingbird (modern)
Horseman Gambit
Anti-Venom
A-Bomb (Rick Jones)
Rescue

Wave 10: (Keeping Secrets)
Uncanny X-Force Archangel (different than the exclusive one)
Modern X-Force Wolfsbane (wolfed out)
Max Fury (Nick Fury clone)
Secret Avengers Beast
Nova armor Commander Rogers

Wave 11: (Training Sessions)
Emma Frost
Rockslide
Pixie
Astonishing/Avengers Wolverine
Anole

Wave 12: (New X-Men)
X-23 (academy X)
Hellion (Hellions)
Forge
Bastion
Surge

Wave 13: (Testing the water or the "It'll never happen" wave)
Prodigy (Slingers, but alt peter parker one)
Lady Hydra
X-23 (Captain Universe)
Kimura
Ricochet (Slingers, but the alt Peter Parker one)

I'd like to see a variant unmasked X-Force outfit X-23 in the cases too.
My list also slightly cheated, using X-23 in place of wolverine in spots, Rescue in place of Ironman in spots, and slingers in place of spider-man. In fact, with Slingers you can have an entire wave of spider-man, and no one would probably bat an eye at it.

Good call on the Captain Universe Spiderman. That would be awesome.

I'd be very happy if they released a wave with Professor X, Beast and Rogue in it. Hopefully with the new film coming out we might finally see them in MU form.

As long as it not a movie version xavier, in other words with hair and without wheelchair

House of M wave:
Hulk
Iron Man
Luke Cage
Dr Doom
Invisible Woman

Comic Packs:
The It
Inhuman Torch

Gigantic Battles:
Giant-Man [Ultimate]
Thor [Ultimate]

2099 Wave:
Hulk
Ghost Rider
Punisher
Metalhead [I have to, hes a favorite..]
Doctor Octopus [from the Spider-Man game, Shattered Dimensions?]

I would definitely like to see a Professor X, but maybe a couple variants. They could do one with him in his hover chair and one with him standing in his old army uniform. That would be pretty neat.

I'd like to see and AoA(age of apoclypse) wave.
Wolverine
Cyclops
Jean grey
Sunfire
Magento
Release the Horseman in 2 comic packs

New Mutants boxset(classic style)
