I see responses like "Hasbro has already had a figure of classic Green Goblin." Yes, they did -- three years ago, that was insanely hard to find (for me at least), is now $60 and up now on Ebay, and not everyone could find it at the time and/or was collecting Marvel Legends figures then. The same for Build-A-Figure characters like the Sandman and Rhino. Not everyone can afford to buy all of the figures, and some of the characters per wave were characters fans didn't know and/or didn't want to buy, leaving their BAF toy incomplete.

I'm hopeful that for 2020, Hasbro releases more classic versions of figures for popular Marvel heroes, villains and civilians, especially if a vintage Spider-Man wave gets made. I'd love to add all-new classic figures of the Chameleon, Sandman, the Lizard, Electro, the Green Goblin, Boomerang, the Rhino, the Shocker and the Hobgoblin to my collection.

However, time (and most likely the New York Toy Fair in February) will tell.

I’ve been saying for a while it would be a great idea to release something like the SW archive series for older Marvel figures. No frills packaging, not like the Vintage waves where you are paying more for the nostalgic cards, just get the in demand figures back out there and bring down the secondary market value for certain figures. Spidey Villians are great candidates for it, but the X Men are the biggest reason I’d want this to happen. With every new wave they are drawing more people in, and the inability to obtain certain characters for a reasonable price has got to be a huge turn off. It would also be a good place to release figures that had terrible distribution or were originally sold in multipacks with less desirable figures. I might have bought an FA Wolverine but not for $60 with a Hulk figure I don’t want.

Cyclops (Jim Lee, no jacket)
Rogue
Wolverine (FA)
Dark Phoenix
Cyclops (Byrne)
Psylocke
Cyclops (Puck BAF Wave)
Magneto (3 pack)
Storm (Jubilee BAF Wave)
Stryfe (Jubilee BAF Wave)
Cyclops (Jubilee BAF Wave)
Beast

That’s just X Men, I’m not that into Spidey but I’m sure the list for him could be twice as long.
