I'm curious to see what Hasbro will display for their Marvel figures for the San Diego Comic Con, especially for what uniforms the rumored Jean/Scott/Logan X-Men three-pack will be and what the future Spider-Man and vintage/retro toy wave releases will be.

These are the figures I hope we get to see the most:
- Classic Doctor Doom (he's long, looooong overdue)
- Classic Wasp
- Classic Doctor Strange
- Classic Vulture (with alternate Adrian Toomes and Blackie Drago heads)
- Classic Electro (with alternate Max Dillon head)
- Classic Green Goblin re-release (with his suit colors repainted brighter, pumpkin bomb accessories and alternate Norman and Harry Osborn heads)
- Classic/first appearance Mary Jane Watson
- Classic Shocker
- Toad
- Banshee
- Classic suit Avalanche
- Pyro
- Classic Luke Cage
- Crystal
- Hobgoblin re-release (with a bigger/better glider, pumpkin bomb accessories and Roderick Kingsley and "shadowy face with red eyes" alternate heads)
- "Amazing Friends" era suit Firestar
- She-Hulk in her Fantastic Four uniform (maybe as a Walgreens exclusive?)
- U.S. Agent
- Silver Centurion Iron Man (finally!)
- Armani suit/90s era Doctor Octopus with bendy-wire tentacles
- X-Factor era suit Havok
- X-Factor era suit Polaris
- Jim Lee era Gold Team Jean Grey
- Jim Lee era Blue Team Cyclops re-release (with removable jacket, new Cyclops head, alternate Scott Summers with ruby-quartz glasses head and red optic blast accessory hopefully included)
- Shriek
- Demogoblin
- Sandman (green-and-yellow Wild Pack/Avengers era suit)
- "Heroes Return" Scarlet Witch
- Overdrive from "Superior Foes"

I would have mentioned First Appearance Storm and classic Beta Ray Bill, but I'd imagine those would be released some time in 2020 since we got recent new figures for them. For Marvel's 80th anniversary, I'd include a Spider-Man/Gwen Stacy/Green Goblin "Death of Gwen Stacy" three-pack and a tuxedo Peter Parker/black costume Spider-Man/wedding gown Mary Jane Watson-Parker for "The Wedding!"

I'd also love to see a John Byrne era chainmail Captain America figure that has a smiling face for Cap (as I hate the recent angry faces the figure has come with for the "Cap Wolf" and repainted Retro/Vintage versions), an alternate Steve Rogers head and include his triangular and round shields as accessories, and a Gil Kane/John Romita Sr. era Spider-Man with a wavy-line "spider-sense" accessory, a smiling Peter Parker head and webbing and/or web-rope accessories, since most current Spider-Man figures don't come with them. Most Hasbro figures have been missing calm and/or smiling faces and I'd like to see Hasbro bring those back as at least alternate head choices.

It'd also be great to finally own new, non-Build A Figure versions of figures like classic Sandman, the Lizard and classic Rhino and if Hasbro gave new accessories and re-releases for figures that were hard to find the first time around, like classic red suit Daredevil and Spider-Girl with an alternate Mayday Parker head accessory. I'd love to see Hasbro repaint previous Spider-Man figures with brighter suit colors and with all-new accessories, like giving yellow gloves and Quentin Beck and Daniel Berkhart alternate heads for Mysterio, and a new classic Doctor Octopus with new blue sunglasses, brighter suit colors and bendy-wire tentacles this time (those "static" tentacles the 2018 figure came with were terrible). And for the X-Men, I'd especially love to see Beast re-released with a removable lab coat, a new head sculpt and an alternate head of Beast smiling and wearing glasses, and a re-release of the Blue Team/Jim Lee era Rogue figure.

For future toy waves, I'd love to see Hasbro release some more toy-lines based on the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man, since it's been a few years since any of them got a new toy-line of their own. Having figures for characters like repainted suits blue-and-white suits for the Fantastic Four, lab coat Bruce Banner with alternate heads (one calm with glasses and the other angry with green eyes to show he's about to "Hulk out"), Gray Hulk (classic or "Mr. Fix-It", whichever is fine with me), Pantheon-era brown suit Merged/Professor Hulk, the Ringmaster, Silver Centurion Iron Man, the Mandarin and a redo of Constrictor would be wonderful. Heck, I'd even take a "Daredevil" toy-line with characters like black/red armored suit Daredevil, Mr. Hyde, the Owl and Scarecrow. For the vintage/retro waves, I'd love to see them do "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" and especially "Spider-Man: The Animated Series".

Anyway, we'll all know for sure soon enough. Thanks for reading my rant and I hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Welcome to the forum! At first I skipped over your Firestar entry and was jokingly going to tell you welcome, but you have to leave because you didn't list Firestar (I'd make sure you knew I was joking) but she's there in all her glory.

You have some really great suggestions and wants in a fantastic first post, so many in fact I will just hit on a couple of points:

I think now that the MCU is slowing down for a few years - still the same amount of movies but less "hyped" movies that may only get one wave, there may be a way to start working in a Hulk, Iron Man, FF, Daredevil etc, wave every year, especially if they keep to 9-10 waves a year. They all have a rouges gallery that need to be addressed beyond just their main adversary or two, and lets not forget heroic supporting casts and prominent civilian supporting casts as well.

I think it's equally possible we will see either a FA Storm or Jim Lee Storm in black - good logic was applied to seeing FA Storm in a post yesterday, but I don't trust Hasbro not to jump fast for the easiest repaint release ever. Either way they'd be for 2020 - that's mostly what SDCC starts showing off of the never seen before figures of the next year, though they do also throw in a handful of end of year figures too..it's just that traditionally there hasn't been but maybe 1 wave between Oct-Dec, IF that.

More an aside and i may be guessing wrong, but it looks like you're mostly a Spider-Man and X-Men fan? Not trying to say it's wrong or right, better, worse..whatever..over other lines, it's just always interesting to see where people's main wants lie. For instance while I collect quite a bit of everything, the X-Men are my main priority.

Finally, yes. Classic Doctor Doom. we MUST get him next year. C'Mon Hasbro.
