This opinions are mine alone, and my cats.

If Rom and Starshine make you shed a tear, how about Acroyear and Cilicia? That would make me a river of jelly! (And I love cool points. I'm competitive).
I need a smaller Perez Beast for both Avengers and Defenders rosters (and don't talk to me about the LOSH, don't start me on DC figures, LOL).
I want Angela cause I'm obsessed with the Brubaker Daredevil. I'm about to go on Cap now. So I'll be wanted something from that too, I'm sure.
Vapor needs legs and "Vapor" parts. Don't cheap out!

Didn't get Crystarr as a kid, but I'm familiar and I love any translucent figure (where's my Martinex?!?) so I'm game.
I almost put The Presence and Starlight, but I thought they're too rare for most.

Graviton and Nefaria together? They look like twins! How about Hammer and Anvil? At least they are different skin tones. Haha.
I'll give you a better one (imo) : D'Spayre with Shaper Of Worlds, and Nightmare with Mephisto. Hellish enough for you?
Blood Brothers? Do you remember when they did appear las? Cause I don't! Haha.
I prefer Brother Grimm.
Ancient One and Stick. They could call it The heroes teachers, or some such.

I'm alright for Pats, but put Daimon with a classic Satana or Witch Woman and I'm there.

Love the Sons of the Tiger, but they're super 70's looking ima gonna need Power Man to go with Hector and the Sons. Hector's been dead for yonks thou. Forgot what happened to him. Must investigate.
Love all the Frightful Four ideas. Medusa needs articulated Kirby hair. Titania and Wizard are musts (as Volcana and Diablo). I need a classic Blastaar, not the Lobo wannabe.
And don't you dare mocking Paste Pot Pete. He's the scariest of them all.
Agree on the rest, but they must be coming anyway. I'm always want the rare stuff, the big ones don't excited me as much, as they are a given.

It's impossible to disagree with any point given the sheer amount of awesome on display here.

A couple of thoughts:

I'd love an Acroyear and Cilicia as a "lovers" set, but, unfortunately, the licensing for the Mironauts may be even more complex and entangled than Rom.

Until you mentioned it, I thought the WT fig we got was for Angela, but now realize it's meant to be his sister, Ava, not his niece. I didn't read the Brubaker run for DD, but I did collect Angela's mini introducing her to Marvel and while I can't remember much about it, I do recall liking it. However, I did read Brubaker's Cap run and those were some of the best comics I've ever read. You'll have a blast. If I ever get around to purchasing the Marvel Unlimited service, I'll check out Bru's DD on your suggestion.

The U-Foes, as a Hulk lunatic, have always been up there for me at the very top of my wants and I'd love a Shaper of Worlds and Hammer and Anvil, due to that same fandom. My Hulk list, similar to Surfer, needs to be separate from any general tally because it's that long. It also includes Nightmare and while I think I'd keep D'Spayre and the lord of slumbering horrors together as enemies of Strange, I could see Nightmare with steed in a legendary riders release.

I thought about the Brothers Grimm, naturally, when recalling the Blood Brothers, but while their costumes were cool I never really knew much about them other than that they occasionally messed with Iron Man. I gave up my $150+ per week comic habit circa 2008 due to the recession and haven't returned in earnest since, but my last recollection of the Blood Brothers was Drax's mini that lead-up to Annihilation. They were prisoners along with Paibok (the 'Power Skrull' always loved that name) and Lunatik. Since we are on the villainous 'brothers' duo kick, I'll add Fenris to our wish list for two packs, just because...

Graviton can be given long hair to distinguish him from Nefaria. That's how he wore it when he died (edit: I thought he died from the aneurysm, but apparently not..) around the time of Civil War.

As for the Sons of the Tiger looking 70's-rific, that's the point! lol Hector was shot and killed in pretty ignominious fashion. He'd been arrested for murder, but I also remember the Tiger talismans taking him over or overwhelming him in some way and playing a role in his bloodthirstiness at the end.
