20th Series 2
*Namor - new figure, same costume used on the Series 2 TB figure
*Dr. Doom - Super Skull wave Doom with unmasked Doom and Doombot alt. heads
*Human Torch - Opaque/painted fire effect
*The Thing - Trench Coat version (great idea Stuart, I really want this version now!)

20th Series 3
*Ghostrider - The TB figure looks bland to me so I'll say "a Ghostrider" will be included
*Thor - 80th Thor with blue discs on chest and dirty/grimy boots.
*Wolverine - same as the other Tiger Stripe Wolverines but new head and deco to match TB figure.
*Magneto - If they have a sense of humor about it, it'll be made on the same body as the Series 1 Iron Man revealed today. If not, it'll probably be the 3 pack Magneto.
*Daredevil - pretty self explanatory.

The only thing that MIGHT change is Daredevil in Series 3. Given that half his face is covered, I would think that they wouldn't have to get Ben Affleck's likeness rights to make the figure. But I don't know enough about that subject to say for sure one way or the other. if they couldn't make movie Daredevil, then my guess for a replacement is Goliath from Series 4. That particular version has never had an update.

If we do get new figures for Thor and Doctor Doom, I hope we get more accessories for both. Maybe Thor could get a new alternate head, lightning effect for his hammer and/or "spinning hammer" effect accessory. For Doctor Doom, I really, REALLY hope we get some "Kirby crackle" energy effect accessories for his hands/fists, though that's unlikely since Hasbro does like to re-use and re-color those same energy effect accessories. For Ghost Rider, I think he could end up being a Legendary Riders release with his motorcycle.

I don't know if they'd do Wolverine and Magneto for the Marvel Legends 20th anniversary wave, since Wolverine is getting an "X-Men: The Animated Series" figure and we may or may not get a Magneto for the animated wave. We'll see what Hasbro does.
