I realise I missed the deadline but as someone who's only recently started collecting Marvel universe 3.75" figures as an adjunt to previous 3.75" Hasbro lines.

There's a few things that accure to me from an outside perspective.

1) Why on earth have an Iron Man figure line and pump out a lot of different Iron Man figures in Marvel Universe as well ?... even after the Movie sequel line Debued.

2) Why not hold off on X-Men characters to a small extent in the line and instead release them in the next 'X-Men Origins' figure line. there's plenty of figures from X-Men 1 to 3 and Wolverine and so on still that could be made.

3) There's a Spider-Man line they seem semi-comicish like the Marvel Legends so surely a lot of the Spider-Man items should be in that line.

4) Therefore it seems to me that the logical thing to do is not release any more X-Men, Spider-Man, or Iron Man figures (or indeed Thor) under the Legends line and instead bulk the line out with characters from other teams and with Individuals... and if possible make movie version of characters like the Punisher and Blade if licenses permit.
Since it's a little unlikely that there will be another Fanatasic Four movie imminently then they are something to use, as is the Mighty Avengers, Captain America, Hulk, Other X-team characters and villans... perhaps there's a legitimate reason to add some characters to the general line that otherwise might fit in the Movie lines - comic related subwaves if they are to obscure to warrant being in a movie toy line things like Emma Frost with Ice-Powers for example.

I'd like to see things like The Red Skull, or Skrulls or Firestar, Cloak & Daggger, Dazzler, or Ms Marvel in the Marvel Legends line.. things that otherwise don't really fit.

But Comic Deadpool and Gambit and Ice Man seemed popular choices in the wolverine line and I'd like to see Movie X-men figures dumped enmass into the next X-Men Origins figure line... all the staff that was previously made and more only now in 3.75" line.

But there's no reason why characters like The Beetle or the Absorbing Man or Sand Man various Symbiotes, The Scarlet Spider, Spider-Armour Spider-Man etc... shouldn't be in the Spider-Man line and only in the Spider-Man line.

5) Lastly I'd wonder about the legality and general likelyhood of Circuit Breaker and Deaths Head being made since they cross the border between Marvel Comics and Transformers they are both legitimate characters to put in the Marvel Legends line - heck Deaths Head II would make and Ideal 3.75" figure and Deaths Head 1 and ideal 6" figure for reasons of scale.

You can't honestly tell me that more people want members the obscurer members of Alpha Flight before hand than want Deaths Head as I'd not believe you as he's of more interest as he's relevent to The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Doctor Who and Transformers.

Sure Marvel Managed to screw him up a bit later on but that does not mean he's more deserving that some of the more obscure Iron Man armours or characters that have Already been made. I'd put him well up the food chain from a character like Iron Fist or Wonder man, Cannonball, Thunderhawk or Hawkeye or the Falcon or indeed every miniscule costume change Wolverine's ever had.

Sure some of them are good if you want to complete a team and people will always have obscure favorites (I've always liked Moon Knight & the Black Panther for example).

But if Hasbro don't make Deaths head and continue to plunge into the ever more obscure that will only serve to annoy me.

I wish someone could collar them at a convention and specifically pester them about Death's Head.
