New Warriors? We have 2 of them, Night Thrasher and Nova. We still need Speedball, Namorita, Justice, Firestar, Sil(I give up on trying to spell her full name lol) and Rage to fill out the main ones.

Thunderbolts maybe as well? Though with Songbird and Citizen V done, and Atlas would have to be a BAF, I think they're a better bet to get made in regular waves.

Sinister Six: I know there's been many iterations, and we've got so many figures of so many of them, I could see them doing it but I question the need for it.

New Mutants also appear to be more likely to get the bodies with multiple heads, but one never knows. We could talk about their more individual costume looks of course, but I really doubt that's going to happen.

Hellfire Club is possible - but would have to be an online exclusive as there's no way they're making that for general retail.

Great Lakes Avengers - They're neat but they're even more niche than Alpha Flight. I could see us getting a figure or two but not a whole set.

Classic X-Calibur might be a possibility, or mid 90's - like when Pete Wisdom joined but Shadowcat still had her blue outfit. Give us Meggan, Nightcrawler, another Captain Britain and Rachel Grey.

Young Avengers - I'd say this is incredibly likely. We have Kate Bishop, but that's it as far as Hasbro goes. We'd need Patriot, Iron Lad (I think was his name : AKA kid Kang), Wiccan, Hulking. Stature would be nice but I'd think would require a BAF.

Classic Masters of Evil: Another potential, but honestly with lots of reuse and little touch ups on Baron Zemo, Enchantress, Black Knight, Radioactive Man, and likely modifying MCU Executioner to his comic counterpart, all we're left with is Melter. Which means Hasbro will almost certainly choose this as an option. But given we're only one member short, Meh. I don't need/want Melter that bad.

Crimson Cowl's MOE: I know, really? But we have Tiger Shark and Klaw. the 3 Pack Scarlet Witch with a new head and body cape would be a pretty good Cowl. Man-Killer pages ago was mentioned as something for the She-Hulk buck. That leaves Flying Tiger and Cyclone, as much as I could pass on them, if this came as a set I wouldn't turn it down.

Generation X-: Jubilee redone, redone Banshee, closer to classic Emma Frost, throw in Monet, Synch, and Chamber, or heck, if you want to leave out Banshee/Emma as they'd probably sell on their own, add in Skin and Husk.

New X-Men: Honestly, there's so many to choose from and so many would need new sculpts I don't know how likely it would be. But if they put one out I'd buy it.

Edit: adding in one final one: West Coast Avengers: the original team with Tigra, Hawkeye, Mockingbird, Safari Jacket Wonder Man, Iron Man and also jumpsuit Hank Pym.

All in all, what I think would be most likely: Young Avengers, New Warriors, Excalibur, Generation X, classic Masters of Evil, possibly Sinister Six.
