Pretty awesome list. I dunno about Phoenix though. Her look is kinda bland for this format, but they could always do her up with some cool accessories or features. Otoh, I'm kinda on the fence on Cyclops because of the style they previewed him in, so I don't know if I'd be down with that. Sometimes when they do "Mezco's style" it's either overdone or not classic enough or too much of a blend of classic and modern without being enough of either if you get my drift. Dr. Doom would be an immediate buy. FFS we don't have a good modern figure of him at all. Total travesty.

I am down with these too. Hawkeye the old masked comic version I would say is big on my list also. If they could chuck in an Avengers skycyle--the oldern days kind with the goofy windscreen--I'd be in in a heartbeat. Gambit I would almost be down for. The upcoming ML would almost be passable but the hair is too big for my liking, it looks dumb. I may go with the Amazing Yamaguchi on that one because it looks pretty damn good. I would defo be down to see what Mez could do with him though.

My probably never to be fulfilled wishlist:

-Lobo -- but they gotta do him up with some proper artic. Not just Mezco (as in the recent Darkseid and gladiator Hulk), but a lot of companies when they do the XL size characters they just do not have any kind of decent range of motion in the knees and elbows. I can't abide. Kills it for me.
-Spider-Gwen
-Doom
-Romita-esque Green Goblin
-Tim Drake Robin
-classic 80s Cyborg
-90s black suit Storm with them wing cape dealies
-90s Bane
-MCU Ant-Man
-MCU Star-Lord
-movie Deadpool

I had an issue with my Wonder Woman and the place I ordered from told me Mez keeps some figs on hand just for parts. What they do is they send out only the parts you complain about. E.g., I sent my WW in hand-less thinking that the left shield/holding hand would then actually stay on the new body they sent me without any extra effort. (I was wrong and do not buy this particular fig FYI as it is absolutely not up to par.)

A man after my own heart. I have a handful of similar scale toys I've spent gobs of money on, but on general principle I don't think I can pull the trigger... particularly since it seems to have some issues such as paint and articulation which I know are really not going to go over well with me.
