It'll depend on how well the show does and people's reaction to it. Same for the Inhumans tv show. We'll probably get Squirrel Girl just because Marvel has been pushing her for years now (not sure of her appeal but more power to the people who love her). But I think we'll see Cloak and Dagger before New Warriors since two people are easier to do than a whole team. Plus people have been asking for Cloak and Dagger for a while now and Hasbro could do an SDCC set for when C&D swapped powers.

I think they're testing the waters with the Netflix wave. They did say when asked about Agents of SHIELD stuff that we will probably see more TV figures if these do well.

Some people just get weird about figures. I can understand that people want to see certain characters released in certain costumes but some of them take it to ridiculous levels. A few years ago, It wasn't uncommon to see comments about how a particular character shouldn't receive an updated figure because that character had an old Toy Biz figure (which hadn't aged well). Or that any costume from the modern era shouldn't be used because the line was called "Legends" and modern costumes aren't legendary.

I never understood why people had a problem with Kamala being Ms. Marvel. Carol had already left the role behind when she became Captain Marvel so it's not like she was forced out. Kamala has only been around for a couple of years which makes her Ms. Marvel book a good starting point for little girls who are interested in superheroes. Plus her costume is appropriate and easy to make for little girls who want to dress up as their favorite heroine (same applies to Spider-Gwen).

I know this may be hard for some people to hear but eventually we're all going to die and it's in Marvel's best interest to bring in new readers.
