Never one to pass up doing a top 10 list when other people are, my top 10 currently:
Justice Count Nefaria Graviton Exodus Kitty Pryde (Excalibur/Shadowcat outfit) Mandarin (prefer a redo of the Toybiz one, red or green, but almost any outfit after his first couple would do) Banshee (absolutely no preference between GSXM and Jim Lee look, just get him done!) Atlas (BAF but still solidly in top 10) Sersi (Comic - I'd actually prefer the red/black but one of her green ones is fine as well) Avalanche (classic look, not a redo of the weird outfit from Toybiz) Wizard and Moonstone in her Meteorite outfit are knocking on the door of top 10 as well, hopefully when the Fwoosh poll comes out in Dec/Jan they'll both make it in, (replacing Shadowcat most likely, and Atlas counting as my BAF choice) |

So I definitely want a Betsy figure, I'd prefer the Outback look, but I'll take the puffy sleeves, or the Mystery in Madripoor cover or even her current Captain Britain costume. They've been in doing such an amazing job with Kwannon as Psylocke that the ninja bathing suit costume doesn't feel like Betsy anymore.

I do hope that The Fwoosh will eventually make two Top 10s, one for X-characters and one for non-X-characters. Every Top 10 is always X-Men heavy and aside from characters like classic Doctor Strange and Tigra, six or seven of the Top 10 list usually goes to X-Men characters. I loved the Top 10 threads that they did for the M.C.U., Spider-Man, X-Men and so on, but since only the FoX-Men thread had its results posted and the rest of the threads didn't, I doubt The Fwoosh would do it a second time this year unless someone actually posts the final Top 10 results.
I'd also love to see new Marvel Legends figures of a fully flamed-on and non-translucent Human Torch, a fully visible invisible Woman, classic Mole Man, classic red-and-black costume Wasp, lab coat Dr. Bruce Banner, Aunt May Parker with a plate of wheatcakes, classic Lizard with a removable bendable wire tail and accessories of the head, left hand and feet of Dr. Curt Connors, classic Rhino, classic Shocker with raised texture on the padded areas of his costume and new vibro-shock blast effect accessories, an easier-to-find classic red-and-purple costume Magneto, a sold-separately classic White Queen with better legs/feet for standing, a non-Walgreens exclusive Mystique, classic Avalanche, classic Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel, classic 80s costume/Secret Wars era Rogue, classic purple-and-blue costume Hawkeye with pointed wings on his mask and a shrunken Ant-Man on one of his arrows like the Toy Biz figure, classic comic book costume U.S. Agent, Count Nefaria, a sold-separately Jim Lee/Gold Team Jean Grey with telekinetic effects, Jim Lee/Gold Team Colossus on a new body mold, orange-and-black costume Leader with the giant brain head sculpt, classic Doc Samson, classic or F.F. uniform She-Hulk, classic Kaine, classic Stunner, and Fusion from Paul Jenkins' "Peter Parker: Spider-Man" run. I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and -- " er, I mean -- "When it comes to Marvel Legends, 10 is never enough." |

Without going into a full list some of my most-wanted figures as it stands are High Evolutionary, Death's Head, Mephisto, and a Crystal and Lockjaw set. There are naturally more that I want but these ones I single out for a distinct lack of representation.

They've been in doing such an amazing job with Kwannon as Psylocke that the ninja bathing suit costume doesn't feel like Betsy anymore.
It's an unusual situation, there's not many personas that have spent so long as another physical identity, that that identity is actually the iconic one yet actually isn't the actual representation of the persona (as opposed to legacy names like Robin, or Captain Marvel). To add to that of course, Betsy threw off the Psylocke persona and Kwanna picked it up. Not highly unusual, but given the specific circumstances it sort of is. So it's actually not wrong that "Psylocke" is still represented by the ninja-esque iconic look we associate with, yet, before the body switch, she was also absolutely the English woman. I absolutely want more Psylocke figures prebody swap - especially the Outback Armored look. I'm not so sure how much I want a Betsy Captain Britain ones, though I wouldn't turn it down either. On the other hand, Kwannon Psylocke we've got what we've seen so far. I don't know if there's a point I'm trying to make here, ha. other than just making it even more confusing than it already is, if that's even possible. Betsy/Psylocke/Kwannon has to have one of the most convoluted explanations of a character, unnecessarily so, and every change they make just makes it even more so (they could have left Kwannon going by Kwannon and Betsy as Psylocke, but ooooh no!) Related question - in displays, who's the iconic Psylocke figure going to be representing? Kwannon or Betsy? Or both, depending on circumstances? |

For me, I have always intended for asian ninja Psylocke to represent Kwannon in my display. I will thus always campaign for some British Psylocke because I need a Betsy in my display! She is totally a favorite of mine. My preference is for her armored look (as it was the symbol of her first getting her desire to be a more active combatant [a major character arc for her especially after Slayback in the Original Captain B comics] which the body swap did continue, but that now has finally evolved into her being the paladin class Captain Britian, yay!) She has a good character arc though I will always love her early pre-body shoppe days and hope she will never be stuck in the strange body swap story again. I am so grateful that that part of both characters has passed and now we can deal with the consequences and move both characters forward.
I would absolutely also buy a puffy sleeve Betsy! |

My top ten is hard to nail down, but if I need to pick...
Rictor Feral Syrin Kane Excalibur (counting it as one because I'm betting it's that teased multipack) Tyler/Genesis Classic Iron Fist Classic Power Man Mandarin (literally any version) Classic/Secret Wars looking Baron Zemo |

I would even take a 90's Revanche. Right now in my display it's just Psylocke and I don't think too much about it, if I could have gotten both versions of the Apocalypse wave figure, I'd swap the heads and display them both.
I think Excalibur and Hellions are my two favorite X-Books right now (still salty they're canceling X-Factor). I especially liked the recent Malice storyline that saw Betsy and Kwannon team up and reconcile. That said it still feels like Betsy's current characterization is a bit shallow, there are times she even feels like an X-Men-ification of Rarity from MLP. I'm not sure if it's the writer not knowing and understanding her as a character, or maybe just not being sure how to use her to the best effect

I liked Betsy pre body swap and would take either costume she wore then. I prefer the armor look but have a fondness for the puffy sleeves as well. As long as her figure has a "Butterfly attatchment" to show her Psi powers I'm good.
As for "PSYLOCKE"...thats Kwannon now but it was Betsy in my 90's display so I won't mess with it. I hate the story got so convoluted over time but Im glad it's been resolved. Now let's get some Outback Team love Hasbro!! |

Only Betsy look I'd really want/need now that they've done her Jim Lee and Uncanny X-Force versions would be her current Captain Britain duds.

Most wanted lists used to be so fun for me to think about... especially during the Marvel Universe days, but then Legends made pretty much all the figures I wanted, so it is not as fun anymore. LOL. And of the few I still want, I am pretty confident all will eventually be made soon enough.

^ I wonder if that is in-store too... I was at my local Disney Store yesterday and they had two left on the shelf, but it was still $45 each.

Currently have 3 Psylockes on display:
My first setup has Betsy figure with the purple hair head-swapped onto the light blue body suit for the 90's shelf. The second Psylocke's from the Nimrod set and is simply with her Uncanny X-force team. The third grouping has Kwannon (w/ Wild Child on chain) using the black haired head swapped onto the more metallic blue body suit to go with the HOX/POX releases. |

Is the new recent Iron Man Tony Stark with A.I.hologram head Marvel Legends figure based on some recent comic book or something?

I think it's based on the storyline that introduced Ironheart

My Top 10 list looks pretty boring compare to most peoples. I was never one to deep dive so I have a hand full of wants that I would consider "new". The rest are mainly do-overs and repaints.
Banshee Sprite (Kitty Pryde in her X-Men training uniform) John Byrne She Hulk FA Beta Ray Bill Avalanche Blob 80th Captain America in lighter blue Daredevil (shrink the 12" Legends one down to 6" would be great) Neo Classic Iron Man (Do over. The figure was out of date when it was released.) Symbiote Spiderman (on the retro SM body) For most of the X-Men, there are teams from certain eras that I want. Mainly: New X-Men (Morrison, Quitely) --Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey (trench coat), Emma Frost, Professor X, Cassandra Nova, Xorn, BAF Cat Beast X-Treme X-Men (Claremont, Larocca) --Storm, Rogue, Sage, Psylocke, Bishop, Thunderbird II, Gambit, BAF Vargas Astonishing X-men (Whedon, Cassaday) --Cyclops, Wolverine, Emma Frost, Shadowcat, Colossus, Armor, BAF Ord of Breakworld |
