I also prefer the brighter suit colors for Captain America's suit, though I get that they did the darker colors to match Alex Ross' look of Cap.

Adam Warlock, first appearance Storm, Longshot, Falcon, Tigra and classic Doctor Strange are all long overdue, so I hope we see at least some of them as 2020 figures. I especially want classic Electro, bendy wire tentacles for Doc Ock and a non-Build-A-Figure Sandman for my collection, so I hope Hasbro is reading.

I didn't include any of my picks as Build-A-Figures because, well, I dislike Build-A-Figures. Usually it's a B.A.F. Hulk or a character I never heard of, and the rarest pieces are usually with the fan-favorite character you can never find in stores and are listed as three times the store price, minimum, on Ebay or Amazon. Just look at the Warlock wave's Cyclops for proof, as I could never find that in any of my local stores.

Plus, it'd be nice to buy a figure of the Hulk that's finally sold separately, instead of being in multi-packs, Comic Con Exclusives or as a Build-A-Figure. And with grey Hulk, Mr. Fix-It, Merged/Professor Hulk, Red Hulk, Immortal Hulk, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Hulk (just kidding) and do on, there are plenty of Hulks left to make into action figures.

1) Yes. Exactly yes. Why does every Captain America figure thus far looked constipated? The triangular shield would rule as an accessory. It is accurate to Alex Ross’s art, but I don’t necessarily need it to be. I’d like a more Jack Kirby looking Cap. Even better, put him somewhere that isn’t Walmart (literally, anywhere).

2) I’m figuring at least one of those will happen next year. Doctor Strange will probably come out in 2021 for his new movie. Storm will be eventual, since they always need one or two headliners in an X-Men wave. Adam Warlock is least likely, but is one of my very favorite Marvel characters, so he’s on the list. Longshot feels certain with the current pattern of X-Men releases (he’d be great with the new Dazzler). Falcon is in the same boat as Strange, where I figure he’ll be released next year as a ttie-in for his TV show. Tigra seems realistic for a future Avengers or retro wave, on account of the amount of seeming fan demand I’ve heard. As for Doc Ock and Electro, why don’t they just give us a Sinister Six boxset?

3) I’m not fond of build-a-figures, but I see them as necessary to get out figures of larger characters. Sure, we’d get a Thanos or Apocalypse regardless, but Sasquatch? Probably not. Although, it is a pain when one or two figures become rare, and the build-a-figure is essentially impossible to complete. Don’t get me started about Cyclops, or worse yet, Rogue.

4) There’s a reason Hasbro splurged for a new mold on the 80th Anniversary Hulk. They can make variants of him until the sun goes cold (or Galactus devours us, or the Mangog triggers Ragnarok). And I’ll buy all of them.
