I didn't see it posted here, so sorry if I'm repeating, but Toy Shiz has a new Marvel Legends team interview and these were the most interesting bits that stuck out for me:

- The new 3.75 inch figures will start with '80s classic characters, so M.C.U. and more modern versions of characters in that scale aren't planned yet. There are also more 3.75 inch Retro figures that they haven't revealed yet.

- The team spoke about Maximum Carnage and they know that Carrion and Shriek still need to get made. They need to figure out which waves to release them in first before we see them. Toy Shiz also mentioned Nightwatch and '90s suit/jacket Firestar were the only other characters missing to be made into figures from that storyline.

- Since Retro Spider-Man is a huge hit, we may see "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" versions of those characters in the toyline and Dan said they're aware of high fan demand right now. Dwight said the animated series versions weren't the original intention, but that they will mix in characters not from the show that "were too good not to" include in the toyline. Toy Shiz was asked by the team which animated series figures he'd like to see them make and he said Venom was his #1 pick. He also mentioned Blade and Alistair Smythe, mentioning he'd love a human form Smythe in the hoverchair before jokingly adding, "Just make them all." (I would be okay with that -- my wallet would not)

- In regards to more 'Into the Spider-Verse' figures, Dwight said that he'd love to do more and name-dropped Peter B. Parker and Peni Parker, as well as wanting more villains. While Kingpin was mentioned, unfortunately, they said they may not do another Kingpin figure so soon after the recent Retro figure.

- There are more accessories to be revealed for toys like ITSV Miles and Firestar. Toy Shiz said Black Cat's new cat would also be good as Maguire for a Mad Jack figure.

- There will be "several" items for Target's Retro event in addition to the Retro X-Men Gambit and Rogue. The figures and Retro event happens this December and it sounded like it's being hyped as an In-Store event.

I think I missed some, but those were the moments I remembered best.
