Still....rumors are still abounding that the line may be ending after 2020. I don't know how much truth I put to that yet, but if we can get those three, and redos of Classic Falcon, Lady Deathstrike and Banshee next year, I just might think it's likely. There are a ton of other figures I want to see done but along with the rest of OG X-Force of which there's only three left and which seems a lock those are the only real "must dos" I feel Hasbro has left. I wouldn't normally put Banshee and Deathstrike up there, but those are the last two that are just really, really bad that are left to redo.

To a lesser extent they really should try to get redos of Mandarin, Leader, Pyro, Avalanche, classic Angel, and the real White Queen design out there, but those are probably second tier needs.

So yeah..15 "must/should" dos. I think it might be possible. Any other figures anyone would add to Hasbro's "must or really should"? Not just taking into account a personal wishlist, we have to apply some logic here.

IF the rumors are true and Hasbro loses the license to Marvel figures in 2020, I honestly won't be surprised. I know Hasbro says they want to reach a new deal, but I'm sure that someone (most likely Mattel) will be happy to continue the Marvel Legends brand after Hasbro. And if Mattel is the company lucky enough to get it, which could happen since we're getting those X-Men Mattel dolls of Mystique, Storm and Dark Phoenix, they'll certainly have to up their game to match what Hasbro has done with the line.

That said, my wish list for Marvel Legends that Hasbro still needs to make is very, very, very, VERY long, and there are plenty of characters that Hasbro "must" make before the end of 2020 if they do lose the license.

They could easily still make classic Wasp, Silver Centurion Iron Man, Thunderstrike, classic Beta Ray Bill, classic Luke Cage, classic Falcon, classic U.S. Agent, Kang the Conqueror, Constrictor, Mr. Hyde, Mr. Fix-It Gray Hulk, classic Chameleon, classic Lizard, classic Electro, classic Shocker, Trapster, the Wizard, classic She-Hulk, Super-Skrull, Annihilus, classic Captain Marvel II, 80s Rogue, Armani suit Doc Ock, Demogoblin, Shriek, classic Kaine, , etc., etc. -- and this is the SHORT list.

I'm still hoping to see new or re-released with brighter suit colors figures of Spidey villains with multiple heads (like classic Mysterio with Quentin Beck and Daniel Berkhart heads and/or classic Green Goblin with Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn and Bart Hamilton heads) or re-releases of previous figures repainted with new accessories (like the 70s and 90s Jim Lee Cyclops figures with an optic blast accessory) for those who couldn't find them the first time around. Re-releasing previous Build-A-Figures for collectors, like classic Sandman and classic Rhino, would be awesome too.

Good thoughts on all of that! Mind you, those aren't the only figures I want to see done. and some of them aren't even all that high on my wishlist (Rictor I see you and Feral I raise to ten to that.) It's just the ones I feel that most logically Hasbro should do.

Right now, My top 10 of never done before, excluding reveals is: Selene, Firestar, Justice, Count Nefaria, Graviton, Exodus, Mach II or IV I'll take either, Nimrod, Atlas and Sersi. But I don't see most of those as the most logical choices for hasbro to make, especially if we have one year left. Only Firestar and maybe Mach II to give us another Thunderbolt.

But if I had to take some out to make does for redos, the main redos or new costumes have to be FA Storm, Deathstrike, Shadowcat and Banshee in that order. All of those would go at the bottom of a all together top 10 though, except FA Storm who would probably be my #2 most wanted figure now.

I think a Hulk wave would be great. I'm not a huge Hulk fan, but he's got a decent rogues gallery. There's already so many waves rumored next year, heck why not one more. Maestro, Zzzaaxxx or however it's spelled, Leader, Harpy, and a BAF Red Hulk along with some necessary Hulk variants. I'd add in Abomination but it just seems like Hasbro can't get that one right. In all honesty if the last TB Marvel Legends standing was Abomination, I'd be fine with that, it's got the mass needed and still a great figure.
