So my guess at the ML lines next year.

Another Spider-Man Legends is inevitable. As is a Captain America Legends wave, mixing comic & movie figures to tie in to Civil War. And just going by the trend of new Marvel Studios movies spawning dedicated Legends waves like the GotG and Ant Man ones, I predict a Dr Strange Legends wave.

Those I would assume are a lock. Dr Strange supporting his own wave seems a bit out there, but so would have GotG, and they sold well. Plus it'd be a great opportunity to get a classic Strange, movie Strange, Wong, Baron Mordo, Mephisto... maybe Surtur BAF.

Hasbro have done 3 Avengers waves, 2 Spideys waves and an Ant Man wave so far. With possibly another Spidey wave on the way.

I'll count 6 as a minimum. So there are 3 slots left.

I'd assume they'll do another Spidey wave because he's a big seller, and there's 2 this year with no movie either.

They could do another singular Avengers wave based on their all-time popularity, but I'd also assume that Daredevil could get his own Legends wave. His Netflix series was incredible, and the next season will be huge.

The other movies are Deadpool (Feb), X-Men Apocalypse (May) and Gambit (November). All Fox-owned movies. So I'd assume no tie-in figures.

Gambit clashes with Dr Strange in release date (as does X-Men Apocalypse with Civil War). And Gambit wouldn't be able to support a line himself.

X-men Apocalypse would be the best time to release a new X-men Legends wave. But with Cap out then, and the Fox boycott, unlikely to do a tie-in wave. Maybe a later release like the TRU wave in August (but not in the same way...). I'd say this stands the best chance to get X-Men Legends out if there ever was one.

Now Deadpool is curious. Fox-made movie, but Marvel continues to market Deadpool, and his comic remains a big seller. But I doubt there'd be a Deadpool wave out because of Marvel's animosity towards Fox. I'm going out on a limb and say that Deadpool will have a new Legends figure out in the Spider-Man Legends wave in Feb/March.

So my final guess is this:

- Spider-Man Legends (with a Deadpool figure): Jan/Feb

- Daredevil Legends (with a new Punisher): March

- Captain America Legends (April)

- X-Men Legends (June)

- Spider-Man Legends wave 2 (August)

- Dr Strange Legends (October)

And some sort of box set around July/August. Avengers-based. I want an all-classic original members set.
