After reading all the comments, may I add my two cents (which are two cents more than my opinion is actually worth )...

- Agreed that classic Doctor Strange is overdue. I'm honestly surprised Strange hasn't been made yet. You could make the argument he's being saved for the inevitable Dr. Strange sequel Marvel Legends wave, but his movie suit is his comic suit. Unless his sequel costume gets completely changed to a different Dr. Strange comic costume, why would you make two Dr. Strange figures that are basically the same with some obvious differences in terms of appearance and paint?

- My mentality isn't "collect them all", it's "collect who you can find if you can afford the figure". Being perpetually broke, I've missed out on a lot of Legends. Of course, it doesn't help that I never could find/buy figures like the Walgreens Fantastic Four characters and the Warlock B.A.F. wave Jim Lee Cyclops. Heck, I almost missed Retro Spider-Man if my sister hadn't pre-ordered it. This is why I think the "I have everyone I want, I don't need (X) character made in a new figure" isn't helpful for Hasbro to read. Yes, you found/bought (X) character. Congratulations. I'm genuinely glad you have the figure in your collection and display it proudly. But there are a lot of collectors who either missed it the first time or are just now collecting as a new collector and has to wait for a new figure because the current one is ridiculously over-priced on Amazon and Ebay.

- I would love to see more teams completed. I'm thrilled Excalibur is on their radar and more New Warriors are always welcome. Namorita, Justice and Speedball would be fun. I'm also hoping for more '90s X-Men re-releases like Cyclops and Jubilee due to missing them the first time around. I'd also love solo figures of Colossus and Jean Grey in their '90s Gold Team uniforms, and a new, better Iceman. Then again, I'd take more new figures of X-Men from the '70s, '80s and '90s. However, I draw the line at goggled Beast from the early 2000s. That look was horrible.

- Going back to my personal favorite of Spider-Man, I'm hoping that Hasbro doesn't make two movie waves for 2021. If they do, that's why I'm hoping we get more Retro Spider-Man stuff. I'm all for new figures of characters who haven't had figures before and 'Spider-Man 3' would be a great way to include the much-requested Tobey Maguire Spider-Man figure fans have wanted. But if that means Wave 2 is mostly movie stuff with two or three comic characters, that'll be very disappointing. I guess I'm spoiled after the Retro Spider-Man wave, but WOW that was a great wave. It was easily my favorite Marvel Legends wave of last year. And when you have a six- or seven-figure wave and fan-wanted figures like Chameleon, Armani suit Doc Ock, Sandman, Lizard, Rhino, Shocker, Tarantula, Spot, Shriek, Morlun, Mr. Negative, black costume Spider-Man, Web Armor Spider-Man and many others are making fans' wish-lists, it's going to be a long wait before we get to these characters.

- I can't wait to see what will get displayed in their Toy Fair alternative. I'm actually most excited for Fantastic Four and am curious to see what Classic X turns out to be. I also hope the rumored Lady Deathstrike is part of the Bring On The Bad Guys wave. Since toylines like Classic X, Retro Fantastic Four and Spider-Man Wave 2 are not until the fall, will Hasbro skip those for now or display one or two figures like they did last year?

- I can't believe I forgot to list Betty Ross with Harpy or Red She-Hulk in my Hulk figures examples post above. Of course, I'm also surprised nobody caught it or told me. See? My posts ARE terrible and should be ignored by all!

I hope you all are doing well and have a wonderful day. Stay safe, everyone.
