There are a lot of Avengers figures I'd love to see made, but I'd especially love figures for classic Scarlet Witch without the metallic paint, classic Hawkeye with a shrunken Ant-Man on an arrow accessory, red-and-black costume Wasp, classic Falcon, Count Nefaria, "Heroes Return" armor Iron Man, classic Captain Marvel II, classic Ms. Marvel, the Wrecking Crew, and classic Baron Zemo. Since Marvel loves making suit-and-tie figures lately, we could even toss in characters like Egghead. And yes, a scaly-chainmail classic Captain America is a must, preferably with a smiling alternate head based on John Byrne's art, as I'm tired of the angry/constipated looking head sculpts we've gotten for the past three or so Cap figures. Since Ant-Man, Hulk, Spider-Man and Thor have 60th anniversaries next year, I hope they get more comic book based figures in 2022. I'd also love to see Tyrannus, Ringmaster, orange-and-black costume Leader, classic Absorbing Man, the Warriors Three, classic Beta Ray Bill, a new classic Thor in his classic suit colors, and a new Loki in his green-and-yellow suit with a cape, scaly chainmail, and alternate angry and smiling-mischievously head sculpts.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll see some kind of Spider-Man figures tomorrow and that we'll see more Retro Spider-Man figures next year. Since Dan Yun's had Toy Biz figures displayed for Doctor Octopus, Shocker and Hobgoblin on his shelf, I hope those get new Retro figures sooner than later.

From yours and a couple other posts, I really am liking the idea of Cap & Hawkeye updates as the wave’s anchors. I would also love that version of Wasp. Hawkeye & Wasp have me thinking, am I the only one who would be down for an improved Ant-Man? The last release just really didn’t do it for me. Egghead would actually be a good use of the labcoat tooling they just debuted with Mister Fantastic. More Thor & Hulk love sounds good too. Particularly Beta Ray Bill & the Warriors Three. Besides the Warriors Three, would anyone else be like really jazzed about Balder? He’s been hovering near my top ten for many years.

I think we’ll see more Spider-Man tomorrow, but it’s likely that they’ll be the rest of the movie wave, versus more retro figures. It’s weird how few comics Spider-Man characters we’re getting next year. Hopefully they’re ramping up to give us a lot for his sixtieth next year (preferably with a silver-bronze age slant). Another retro Spider-Man wave next year is among the rumors posted on the Fwoosh’s checklist, which has yet to steer us wrong.
