We already know about Wolverine and Hasbro did say we'd see more releases from "Spider-Man: The Animated Series", so that could be another anniversary since 2024 is the series' 30th anniversary. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the third could be "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" for the event's 40th anniversary, but since titles like Daredevil, the Punisher and Generation X all have anniversaries this year too, it could be anyone.

If I'm not mistaken, "Mega Deluxe" refers to figures that fall into the $50-$60 range like MODOK, Mojo, and the WW2 Hydra Stomper. Figures that have a little more plastic than the $40 deluxe figures as well as new tooling. I feel like Lockjaw would fit into this category but I'm not sure who else would.

I think Secret Wars will be one of the anniversary programs. We had the Doom/Monica Rambeau 2 pack this past summer from Secret Wars. Plus, the series has a pretty diverse array of heroes and villains. Hasbro could include their "best sellers" while also giving fans their requested characters.

I don't think Daredevil, Punisher or Generation X will get anniversary programs. As brands, I don't think any of them are big enough to carry a specialty line with multiple releases at a higher price point. However, I could definitely see a Daredevil and Punisher 2 pack. Maybe base it on "Welcome back, Frank".

I think the more likely third anniversary program will be Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Give it a final set of retail releases and then move on from the show. Some possibilities are Spider-Man on the RYV body, Venom w/o cel-shading, Mysterio, Chameleon, Hobgoblin, Vulture, Madame Web, and the Man-Spider.
