I know that Spider-Man has a wealth of characters that could fit into the Retro line, and as marvel's tentpole character, it's deserved. The balance of that is that there will always be more opportunities for Retro Spider-Man characters, even if it doesn't end up being a yearly thing every year.

X-Men and Avengers will likely have more shots as well. I suspect we'll see another X-Men retro line around late 2023, officially 2024, if the "2023" retro line will be Iron Man.

Fantastic Four is what I'm most worried about, and my usual criticisms are why. I understand getting a cohesive looking team of the 4. But that's 4 of 6 slots, like this last one, and then the 2 other figures were variants of those characters. Were they undeserving of those figures? No. But does it feel like pulling teeth to get any Fantastic Four villains outside of Doom (ignoring the complexity of Galactus)? - it absolutely does. I like that we got two villains, but the 4's rogue's gallery/related characters will end up expanding at an agonizingly slow rate. And that's mainly because four of the slots pretty much have to be earmarked for the core four.

All that to say, I really would like to see, and wish we had seen, characters like Crystal, Attuma, Wizard mainly for me, but there's also redos of Mole Man, Blastaar, Annihilus, Terrax, Dragon Man (not really a Legends orginally per se but close enough. As well as new characters like Red Ghost, Mad Thinker, Diablo, Llyra (I think she was supposed to be released but never was), Immortus (we have Kang so it's like we have the character, but that whole thing is complicated), Malice, Trapster as well as the whole bunch of Inhumans aside from just Crystal. And these are just the more well known name. And yes, I did leave out their creepiest villain on purpose.
