Seriously, lol, there just aren't many good Legends figures of the F4.

However, if you want an F4 set right now, the Toy Biz box set (with Franklin Richards and Dr. Doom, not the Heroes Reborn box set) is your best option.
Unfortunately, it sells for high prices on the aftermarket, and the figures are severely dated at this point, with the exception of The Thing.
Seriously, the Thing figure in that set is not only one of Toy Biz's best Legends, it's, IMO, one of the best Legends overall.
The rest of the set is, by today's standards, sub-par, unfortunately.

Another option for a matching F4 set would be Hasbro's two F4 2-packs.
While those figures all have matching costumes, the only adequate figure is Johnny Storm. The Reed figure is a re-release of Toy Biz's dated Mr. Fantastic, The Thing is a re-release of Hasbro's awful Thing figure from the Ronan wave, and the Sue Richards figure is just plain terrible, lol.
Hasbro hadn't quite hit their stride yet with the Legends line at that point
Plus, those figures are pretty pricey on the aftermarket.

Oh yeah, and just skip the figures of Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny from Hasbro's F4 Ronan wave altogether. They're expensive, and just bad figures. Reed is kinda cool, due to his size, but is far from being what I'd consider a definitive version of that character.

Another option would be to pick and choose from these and some of the other F4 figures, because there are a few good ones (from both Toy Biz and Hasbro) available, but you wouldn't have an aesthetically compatible team with matching uniforms.

So yeah, unless you intend to be a Fantastic Four completist, just wait, since Hasbro may have some new F4 Legends on the horizon.
