@TheBlueMarvel - I'm not sure why you disagree with my post when I said I was agreeing with you. The main complaint I see is that "why do we need (X) when we had (number) of figures of him/her already?" and I'd like to politely point out, just because you found (X) figure, it doesn't mean (Y) collector found it the first time around and neither did those just now collecting Marvel Legends figures. You can justifiably argue some aren't as hard to find as others and those that are out aren't that expensive, but there are always popular versions of characters that always sell out and are re-sold for three up to five times more than the normal retail price. Just look at any Jim Lee X-Men figure as a perfect example, such as Cyclops, Beast and Rogue. I also don't get why Kraven isn't an example of someone who needs to be re-made. I've been trying to buy a Kraven since the first solo figure and then the 80th anniversary two-pack, but I could not find both and when I did, it was overpriced on Amazon and Ebay. If you found Kraven, congratulations. I didn't and I'd like to get a solo figure of him, preferably with the classic suit colors.

Also, with respect, your Electro example doesn't really work. One was the more modern costume on a thin body mold and the second was the classic costume with a new head, new normal hands and a new body mold. It's not like it was the exact same figure as before but painted differently like classic Spider-Man 2099. I can't blame Hasbro for re-making the classic Spider-Man figures because THEY SELL. Frog Man isn't a big seller. Jackal wasn't a big seller. Just because we want Hasbro to make a first-time figure of a specific character, it doesn't mean they will, especially if it's going to peg-warm or be sold later on clearance for a lower price of what the current price is. Also, just because it's a known character like modern suit Black Cat and six-armed Spider-Man, it doesn't mean they'll sell well either, as I personally saw both pegwarm for months after they were released pre-pandemic. Heck, six-armed Spider-Man shelfwarmed at my local H-E-B grocery stores!

Also, another problem I believe you can agree with me on is that the annual Top 10 needs to be longer or changed to include Top 10 lists for X-Men characters, Avengers characters, Spider-Man characters, etc., like they tried to do on The Fwoosh message boards. 6 or so of the slots ALWAYS go to X-Men characters, and it's usually Avalanche, Toad, Blob and Banshee filling those slots. You can't exactly make a Top 10 list of characters who could be made for the first time, like Calypso, Lady Octopus, Stegron, the Rose and so on if an X-character is taking up a lot of the slots. I also stand by needing new classic figures of characters who people didn't get the Build-A-Figure parts the first time around like Sandman and Rhino (and without the screaming head sculpt this time, please, Hasbro) and new classic figures we either haven't had made yet (like the Shocker, who needs new blast accessories instead of the same effects sold over and over repainted in a different color) or are now overpriced so new collectors can't afford them (like Doc Ock). If you saw a Doc Ock figure for $22 now being sold for $50 and up on Amazon and Ebay, would you really buy it when you could get two different Legends figures instead and knew that a new Ock could be made within three or four years anyway? You also shouldn't feel guilty if you buy a new Ock because you technically aren't perpetuating the process. The last figure for Doc Ock was released three years ago. If you or other collectors didn't find it last time, then you can get the next figure. As we saw with Retro Green Goblin, it could end up being different so that it's not like it's a complete re-release with just a new coat of paint. And if bendable wire tentacles are included, unlike the last Ock, that definitely makes it different. Heck, they could put Doc Ock in a two pack with Aunt May and I'd still buy it!

Plus, I agree with you. We DO need figures of classic Beta Ray Bill and classic Abomination. Heck, we DO need more Hulk figures, period, from Hulks and villains to civilian characters and allies. The Hulk, Ghost Rider, Captain America and Thor, among others, are characters I'd love to see get a new Marvel Legends wave of eventually. Since Ant-Man, Hulk, Spider-Man and Thor all turn 60 next year, I'm hoping for some 60th anniversary waves for the heroes in 2022, but we'll see what Hasbro does.

I also agree with Ultra Seven, new figures of the Rose and Calypso are a must. I can't believe I forgot to list them when I mentioned characters like Grizzly, Looter and Tinkerer, which Ultra also listed.

Thanks for reading my nonsense and I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe, everyone.
