Before I mention my Top 10 wishlist, which gets harder and harder every year considering 10 is never enough and most of the Top 10 goes to X-Men characters like Avalanche and Banshee anyway, the one thing I want Hasbro to mainly do is make a "Marvel Legends: Avengers" wave solely based on the art of the living legend George Perez. I'd include Count Nefaria for the wave's villain, Safari Jacket Wonder Man because he's overdue, some kind of Scarlet Witch ("Heroes Return" suit, maybe?) since she's Perez's favorite, Triathlon for the lesser-known character, and new figures of the Big Three - Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. I'd give Captain America an alternate smiling head, accessories of his round shield without holes in it and an his classic triangular shield, and the "scaly chainmail" look for his costume. I'd make the "Heroes Return" armor for Iron Man with an alternate Tony Stark head and the usual repulsor ray accessories. For classic Thor, I'd include an alternate bearded head, the new spinning hammer accessory the Ragnarok figure has, and add a new lightning accessory for his hammer Mjolnir.

So without further ado, because NO ONE demanded it, this is my Top 10 list. My picks may surprise you.
01.) Silver Age Spider-Man. The look of the classic red-and-blue costume I'm referring to is John Romita Sr. 60's comic book suit and the 1981 "Spider-Man" animated series costume with the chest spider emblem's legs out to the sides. I'd include an alternate civilian head of Peter Parker without glasses, alternate open hands for wall-crawling poses, and a wavy-lines "spider-sense" accessory.
02.) Jim Lee era Blue Team Cyclops. I was never able to find the previous Marvel Legends figures of the '90s suit for Cyclops and that's my favorite costume for the character. I'd include a new head sculpt, an alternate Scott Summers civilian head, alternate jacket sleeve arms, a removable jacket, and an optic blast accessory. If he has to be a Deluxe release, so be it -- I'd just love to be able to find it for a change!
03.) White Armani suit Doctor Octopus. I really want a green-and-orange/"Death of Captain Stacy" Doc Ock figure too, but with Hasbro going with figures in suits and ties lately, I feel this is more likely and it's never been made into a Marvel Legends figure before. Toss in bendable wire tentacles and I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
04.) First appearance Mary Jane Watson. Mary Jane Watson is too popular to be just an alternate head for the Retro Gwen Stacy -- she needs her own figure! I know we got the two-pack version, but I was never able to buy it. This time, I'd include a head sculpt based on her first appearance panel by John Romita Sr., a removable jacket and alternate jacket sleeve arms.
05.) Classic red-costume Daredevil. He's so overdue. I'd include a new head sculpt for ol' Horn-head, with an alternate Matt Murdock head sculpt, alternate fist hands, and accessories of his billy clubs, his walking stick and grapnel-launcher billy club. It'd likely be a Deluxe release for all the accessories, but I wouldn't mind if it we got our money's worth.
06.) Merged Professor Hulk. I hate that the Hulk is usually made into a Build-A-Figure, so I'd have a Deluxe figure of Professor Hulk in his brown jumpsuit when he led the Pantheon, a calm head sculpt, an alternate angry head sculpt and alternate clapping hands for thunderclap effect.
07.) Dr. Robert Bruce Banner. The Hulk's 60th anniversary is next year, so why not make a figure of Bruce Banner in his lab coat with a head sculpt wearing glasses, an alternate head without glasses, and some kind of accessories like a journal or lab equipment?
08.) Orange-and-black costume Leader. The previous Marvel Legends figure of Leader left me disappointed, so I'd like to see his orange-and-black costume look with the "Jiffy Pop" giant brain head sculpt.
09.) Captain Marvel II. With the popularity of "WandaVision" and 'The Marvels' movie in the works, why not make a figure of Monica Rambeau's classic comic book costume as Captain Marvel?
10.) Classic Power Man costume Luke Cage. I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't released this already.

Hmm... I wonder, if this was my Top 10 for The Fwoosh, if I could only list Banner or Professor Hulk or if they would count as the same character since Banner changes into the Hulk? Anyway, there are a lot of Hulk-related figures that just barely miss my Top 10 I'd love to see made, such as Tyrannus, Ringmaster with a swirling "hypnotic" effect accessory for his hat, classic Abomination, General "Thunderbolt" Ross and Betty Ross (maybe for a two-pack?), the Absorbing Man with an accessory of his ball-and-chain, and a Jack Kirby art-based Hulk from "The Avengers" #1 that's wearing his purple trunks. Hulk needs a new Marvel Legends wave A.S.A.P. Maybe they can make a Retro wave with the box art of his 1996 animated series?

Other figures I'd love to see Hasbro make that barely miss my Top 10 include the Gold Team/'90s costume for Colossus, a classic Magneto with better head sculpts, the previously-mentioned "Death of Captain Stacy" costume and glasses look for Doctor Octopus with an angry head sculpt, an alternate smiling smugly head sculpt and bendable wire tentacles, sold-separately figures for Jim Lee/Gold Team Jean Grey and classic White Queen, a classic Mystique that isn't a store exclusive, classic purple-and-blue costume Hawkeye with a shrunken Ant Man on an arrow accessory, and an updated classic Mysterio with a new improved cape and fishbowl helmet and alternate civilian heads of Quentin Beck and Daniel Berkhart.

What do you guys think of my selections?
