My guesses:

- Will O’ The Wisp
- Tarantula
- Rocket Racer
- The Spot
- Carrion
- Man-Wolf
- Molten Man
- Belladonna
- Grizzly BAF

… some of those are more/ less obscure than others, but I feel like at least a couple are a given if this pans out!

If this is is true, I'll be even more disappointed than I already am. I don't want to see a wave of C- and D-list characters with at least two Spider-Men. The lesser-known characters pegwarm hard and there are still plenty of villains that need new figures and/or updates. Where's the Chameleon? Where's suit-and-tie Tombstone? Where's a solo release for Venom? I missed out on Vulture, so I'd love to see him redone. Sandman and Hydro-Man can be remade so Sandman is taller and Hydro-Man has normal arms, even if they put them in different suits like Sandman's green armored suit or Hydro-Man's silver/gray armor. There are three versions of Doc Ock (Death of Captain Stacy, white Armani suit and 90s animated series without cel-shading, respectively) that I'm waiting on I'd love to see him released with bendy wire tentacles included -- and as a solo, non-exclusive release next time, please, Hasbro. Mysterio would be a fun re-release with alternate civilian heads of Quentin Beck and Danny Berkhart and/or as a new figure in his '90s animated series costume (preferably without cel-shading). And the Hobgoblin REALLY needs to be redone in his classic comic costume based on John Romita Jr.'s art after the disappointing Retro release.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see figures of lesser-known Spidey foes in Marvel Legends' toylines. Personally, I'm still waiting on the Tinkerer, the Enforcers, classic Tarantula, the Spot, Calypso, the Rose, classic Jack O'Lantern with his hoverdisc, purple-and-blue costume Boomerang, classic Kaine, classic Stunner, classic Lady Octopus, and Delilah. But I just don't think having an entire wave of Spidey figures with D-list rogues and not including one or two A-list villains is a smart move on Hasbro's part. Heck, maybe I'm wrong on this one -- and let's face it, I usually am. But I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck waiting even longer for some of my remaining A-list favorites to get their turn in terms of getting new Hasbro figures made.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and stay safe, everyone.
