@Captain Nash - Thanks for the reply. For the first point, the Hulk is a tricky wave. Most of the characters are large and would likely be either Deluxe figures or as part of a two-pack. There are different Hulks (classic green savage, Mr. Fix-It, Merged/Professor, Doc Green, etc.) that are too big for the main wave, while smaller Hulks like first appearance Hulk and purple-trunks/founding Avengers Hulk are smaller in height and width to go with "normal" sized villains like Tyrannus, Ringmaster, orange-and-black suit Leader, Boomerang, the Absorbing Man and Nightmare. Hasbro could do a Hulk with a civilian character for extra appeal for collectors, like Dr. Bruce Banner with Gray Hulk, Rick Jones with A-Bomb, Betty Ross with , etc. Or Hasbro could do a U-Foes boxed set. And there are so many characters from the Fantastic Four that need updating and/or first-time figures, it's not even funny. Heck, Hasbro could even do a "New" Fantastic Four boxed set of gray Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Ghost Rider if they wanted.

For the Spider-Man wave, that's why I'm worried about the second wave: we have 'Spider-Man 3' in December and the new toyline is in the fall. Granted, we could see figures in the first wave of Marvel Legends' 2022 figures in late December 2021/early 2022 January. But still, after how awesome the Retro Spider-Man wave actually was last year, I'd really love to see more comic-based Spider-Man figures instead of, say, Tom Holland Spidey, Alfred Molina Doc Ock, Jamie Foxx Electro, possibly Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire Spider-Men, and then two comic-based figures as possible figures as the majority of the wave (even though I'd buy all of those in a heartbeat, if my wallet allowed it). And let's put the Usual Suspects wish-list villains aside like Chameleon, Sandman, Lizard, Rhino, Shocker and so on. There are other fan-favorite characters fans want to see get new figures too, like classic Kaine, Stunner, Shriek and Carrion for "Maximum Carnage" collectors (and a better, bigger Doppelganger, but still...), Cardiac, the Spot, the Rose, Tarantula, Man-Wolf, Molten Man, Overdrive, purple-and-blue suit Boomerang, Swarm, Morlun and Mr. Negative. That's not counting the various Spider-Men and Spider characters, like Madame Web, Spider-Woman (pick one -- there are a lot of them), Ezekiel, Web Armor Spider-Man, Octo-Spidey, Spider-Lizard, Spider-Hulk, first appearance/Steve Ditko era Spider-Man, John Romita Sr./Gil Kane era Silver Age Spider-Man with the original chest emblem, a new black costume Spider-Man, the Amazing Bag-Man, Todd MacFarlane era suit Spider-Man with the big eyes, the Slingers, and so many more.

I am hopeful we'll see more classic/Retro villains like Chameleon, Doctor Octopus with bendable wire tentacles, Sandman, Rhino, Shocker, the Hobgoblin and so on. But if we got, say, Morlun and/or Mr. Negative instead, I wouldn't be surprised since they're long overdue. But it'd be nice to have at least one or two new A-list "classic" villains included this year.
