Kang has been pushed heavily by Marvel for a bit thanks to the MCU, Lizard was formerly an exclusive who was tough for many people to get, while Enchantress hasn't been seen in a while and could stand to get some of the modern fixings such as pinless and face print tech.

Or...this wave could be where Hasbro decides to relaunch their 3.75 inch line (which were also called Marvel Legends) which was placed on a hiatus, but was never officially canceled. It'd be cool to see some new stuff...(I personally want that Rogue and She-Hulk,) but I wouldn't get my hopes up in this case as Hasbro probably will end up doing what they usually do at the end of the day.

This wave was specifically listed as six figures that are six-inches tall. If they do end up making a 3.75 inch wave for "Secret Wars", then these six figures aren't it.

I have no doubt we'll see some of the A-list characters like Captain America and Thor re-released and I would welcome Thor and Cap especially with open arms since I missed the previous figures of the classic versions of those characters. I could see some characters getting skipped due to other lines, like Wolverine for his own 50th anniversary wave and Magneto for his recent "X-Men '97" wave. I don't think Kang is on the radar at the moment due to what happened with Jonathan Majors and the film "Secret Wars" itself being pushed back. Lizard and Enchantress would both be great, especially since I never got the Wal-Mart Retro Lizard I ordered. And since we've got "mega deluxe multi packs" of Marvel Legends released this year, I hope larger characters like Hulk, the Absorbing Man, Titania and members of the Wrecking Crew make the cut. A deluxe Doc Ock with bendy wire tentacles is one of my biggest wants at the moment.

As for new characters that could end up in the "Secret Wars" wave, I'd be as excited for characters like Iron Man with a Jim Rhodes alternate head, Cyclops, Rogue, Colossus, She-Hulk and Volcana as anyone here. The main question I have is, will we see more two-packs (like the Captain Marvel and Doctor Doom two-pack from last year) and/or multi-packs or just the six figures? I'm hoping it's the former due to all of the characters from the "Secret Wars" comic event that could get made into long overdue and much needed figures. Heck, I'd even take new figures of characters from the old Mattel toyline that weren't in the comic event, like Daredevil, Falcon, Hobgoblin, Electro and Iceman.
