We might see a toy repack of that and the Tony figure. But the MK 42 is destroyed in Ironman 3 so I doubt we'll see it in film. Considering why Tony does suit up in the movie, I doubt we'll see something like MK 42's suit up protocol too. Since that's predominantely a carrier wave based technology that can be hijacked by someone familiar with the workings of his network protocols...

The newest suit looks like a slight recolor of the mk 42 though with red on the chest instead. Considering how the story seems to play out, it looks like we might see an Ultron drone and a Tony stark figure before maybe Ironman himself. Though I could see them repacking an old ironman figure in as filler for the 4'' line at least before the new armor hits. Smart thing would be to have the new armor as wave 2, while Tony Stark himself is wave 1.

Kind of hoping the Avengers 2 4'' line goes something like:

Wave 1:
New Cap
New Hawkeye
Widow (New hair sculpt at minimum)
Ultron drone
Tony Stark
Bruce Banner

Wave 2:
Quicksilver
Scarlet witch
War Machine
New Ironman
Maria Hill
Ultron

Wave 3:
Final Ultron form
Vision
Hulkbuster (possibly a repack, but could be new mold too!)
Hulk
Ant-man (because it's doubtful he'll get his own line, so why not a one off preview figure!)
War Machine repainted as Iron Patriot

But then again, I only plan on buying new costumes and or new characters.

Though I am curious if they'll do an avengers tower play set. I expect the extra stuff will be drone tied somehow initially. Villians would be nice too if they do indeed cameo quite a few.

Considering how well the Avengers line did before though, maybe we'll get lucky and they will include some comic series again as a build up. Not sure since the market is fluctuating pretty extremely lately. A 3 wave cover all the bases of the film approach seems the most logical.

Legends will probably follow a similar pattern, but slimmed down. Like a BAF vision or ultron or hulkbuster, or even a BAF preview ant-man figure, and then the new costumes/characters while anyone that hasn't changed may either get previous mold re-usage or be skipped entirely.
