Well, my list is gonna be very similar to yours, Nash (unsurprising, since we're both X-nerds like whoa) but here we go. And like you, I'm gonna go far beyond a top ten.

1. Magneto - Let's face it, we need a good, new Magneto. TB and the TRU-exclusive are passable at best. A new Magneto with interchangeable heads (helmeted and unhelmeted) and maybe some alternate hands and energy effects would just be the Motts.
2. Sauron - Probably as a BAF just to get the wings right (and to justify the all-new sculpting for him) but the guy needs some love.
3. Apocalypse - A nice, properly built and tall one. I'd take either a BAF or a standalone figure (like on the Colossus body, as was suggested) but either way, we need a new one that's not ginormous, and not squat as hell.
4. Mr. Sinister - Needs an update.
5. Nimrod - BIG AND SHINY AND PINK, DAMMIT!
6. Bastion - doesn't need to be big, but he does need to look sharp as hell.
7. Shadow King - Astral form please. A Farouk in addition would be great, but astral form is a must.
8. Legion - I know he waffles on where his alignment is, but he's been enough of a villain to count. A basic figure with some great facial sculpting and a variety of energy effects would be wonderful.
9. Exodus - Give this guy his due!
10. Goblin Queen - Unlikely to be a retail release, but I want a Maddie to further fill out the Summers-Grey Family Shrub.
11. Dark Beast - Gotta get some AoA love here. And if they release a standard Hank, then this would be a 'no-brainer' retool.
12. Sabretooth - The last one was good, but could we just get a newer one with the fur collar bit? Please?
13. Mammomax - Come on. For being a very short-lived villain, he's got a memorable design, and he's ripe for a BAF, especially given, again, his unique parts.
14. Vanisher - Why? Why not? Guy's been around for long enough to get his due.
15. Toad - One of the first Marvel Legends figures, and yet one of the least poseable. Update! Update now! Jester costume would be ideal, but at this point, I'll take anything.
16. Destiny - Another long-overlooked character who has never gotten the plastic treatment. Not even in Toy Biz's 5" line from the 90s. Give Mystique's lover a place on our shelves!
17. Emplate - One of the only notable villains from Generation X really needs to get done. Look at his design! It's hard not to love it, or at least see how toyetic it is.
18. Lady Deathstrike - Another one in dire need of an update.
19. The Nasty Boys - I've got such love for this team of loser Sinister thugs (Ruckus, Ramrod, Gorgeous George, Slab, and Hairbag). Bring them to me, please and thank you. Convention exclusive, store exclusive, piecemeal in other waves, whichever.
20. All-New All-Deadly X-Men - Same as above. The Grey King, Rapture, Crux, Mercury, Landslide, and Chaos/Xaos. Top it off with an evil Cerebro to lead them.
21. Brimstone Love - Who, you may ask? Why, one of the chief villains of the X-Men 2099, a guy who evokes Tim Curry's Darkness from Legend. A massive hunk of horned mutant, this guy needs a BAF pronto.
22. Warwolves - Another BAF candidate due to uniqueness, making a generic Warwolf would just make my life. Or perhaps smaller ones sold in a three-pack. Either way.
23. Ahab - Would be great paired with a 'classic' Rachel Summers release.
