That said, I was wondering who you guys would like to see remade? Here's the catch...it has to be a figure we've already received (like a redo of Future Foundation Spidey for example.) New outfits for a character don't count (therefore, Jim Lee Jean Grey is okay, but X-Men Red Jean Grey, or White Phoenix is not.) And finally, Hasbro figures only, no Toybiz characters please. We get it...the women Biz characters have been beat to near death with an ugly stick.

Please keep it to three, sometimes you guys go off the deep end and list about 30 figures...lol.

Anyways, I found three in my own personal collection that I'd like to see Hasbro take another stab at...

1. Ultimate Nick Fury

Gonna be honest...I loved the Ultimates, and I loved this version of the character. But this figure sucks. He can't even hold his arms straight ahead of him, and he's on this absolutely horrible body mold. He needs to be redone...heck, this version of the character is OWED a redo, because without him, we would have no Sam Jackson Fury. The Ultimates was a big deal, and love it or hate it, it became the template for many of the characters we see in the MCU today. Everyone geeked out of their minds when they first saw Jackson cameo at the end of Iron Man, and this version of the character is largely the reason why.

2. Ultimate Captain America

I love this figure, and it wasn't completely terrible at the time, but it has not aged gracefully at all. The scale is all out of whack with today's modern Legends, and those headsculpts could use a facelift. I'd love to see Hasbro take another shot at him, especially if they give him the removable helmet like the first one had. I'd even settle for the MCU version of this outfit that Chris Evans wore in the first Avenger. I know many of us are all Cap(ped) out, but this is one more that I need to have.

3. Ultimate Iron Man

A bit biased for me, since this is my favorite version of his armor...but my reasons are a bit more simple...

This....

looks NOTHING like this.....

They did a near perfect version of it for the Select line, but that thing lacks articulation. They also did a near perfect version of it for the Iron Man 2 3.75" line as well, and that thing was a damn mini-Marvel Legend, complete with an interchangeable head.

Give it to me as a single release, give it to me as a BAF if you must, just give me the damn thing.
