There's a huge difference in what I want to see versus what I think we'll see. I'm sure we'll get at least one wave for every movie, and probably two waves for The Marvels at very least. Possibly even two for GOTG 3 and Ant-Man Quantumania. Who knows how many D+ waves, multiple probably.

Probably 1 X-Men wave, 2 Spider-Man waves, one Avengers-related wave, and a vintage wave (Iron Man maybe?)

X-Men related, I truly hope/maybe expect a classic Avalanche, and Banshee in either GSXM or the Blue/Gold training uniform for the Jim Lee look. It's probably time for them to roll out a Wolverine in that outfit too, I'm actually surprised they haven't done so yet.

I'm thinking we'll see another Age of Apocalypse wave but it may be 2025 for the 30th anniversary of that story. Still, I'm hoping we can get some packs or exclusive singles for that in the meantime, even if it's just 2-3 figures a year. The fact we've gotten none of the Horsemen (beyond the 2009 Nemisis) is a large part of why I'm thinking there will be more to come. Other characters to be done before getting into deeper cuts - Storm, Quicksilver, Gambit, Nightcrawler and Dead Man Wade (because of Deadpool general popularity). For me personally, Storm and Abyss are my top priorities here though, but I don't know what we'll see next year, if anything.

Another New Warrior and I really hope it's Justice. He's quite a bit more high profile that Namorita and Silhouette, though I hope we get them too eventually. It would also finish the Kurt Busiek lineup, even if not in the extra outfits. I'd love to think we'll get another Thunderbolt or 2, but who knows. I'd honestly take a box set 4 pack of Atlas, Meteorite, Techno and someone already released, priced as a 5 pack since Atlas would be deluxe.

As far as Avengers, the ones missing aren't the big names. A comic Sersi would be nice, as would a comic Starfox (even if I don't want him, I know others would), but I'm dubious given one has an MCU figure and it will probably not be too long before we get a MCU Starfox figure (unless Harry Styles has not agreed to have his likeness reproduced). Swordsman and Crystal would be higher profile Avengers missing even if not big names. Monica Rambeau in her Captain Marvel outfit would be fantastic, and I do think there's a chance for that actually, as part of The Marvels line, somewhere in the comic figures made.

Spot is very likely given he'll be in a movie, so while it may not be exact comic likeness, it'll probably be close enough to pretend it is.

Vintage may be Iron Man related in which case we absolutely need to get a Mandarin. Too many missed opportunities already, this is probably our last chance to get him. I realize the stereotype issues that character has, but he's an integral part of Iron Man's history.

Speaking of Vintage, the F4 offerings have some missed opportunities. If we get another set of the Four main characters again before a Wizard I may go mad. Crystal and Attuma could also fit in here, as could Dragon Man and Mole Man.

Given the direction the line has gone the last couple of years, and more and more MCU taking over it, there's a handful of characters I've got as priorities that I'm becoming more and more skeptical will ever get made: Count Nefaria, Graviton, Deathbird, Morgan Le Fay, Maximus The Mad, Crimson Cowl, and the aforementioned Atlas, Wizard and Justice. I'd include Exodus, Marrow and Monet in that as well, but the X-Men line has a better likelihood to get wanted figures in, at least until they show up in the MCU.
