    What the heck!? Seriously!?

    *goes and checks Fwoosh boards*

    Son of a...

    Why would you not include Cannonball's lower body!? Heck, I'd rather have him have a torso and create my own 'propulsion effects' than what they apparently are going to give us. I hope somehow they change their minds because otherwise that's as lazy as the Spider-Ham figure they gave us in the Venom wave.

    Also, I just thought of this, but didn't they ask what color costume we wanted for a 90s Storm over a year or so ago? Was kinda hoping we'd see a hint of her.

    Well I don't care for Cap's molded scales but I guess I'm adding that Thor and Iron Man to my wish list.

    *sigh* At this rate my wallet's going to have more battle damage then Hasbro's WFC Siege line. :(

    I definitely can see what you are saying about them really running through the figures(especially X-men) through 2020. That said there are plenty of X-Men from 70s to 2000 to be made:

    Romita Jr 80’s Colossus
    Silvestri 80’s Outback Colossus
    Giant Size Storm
    Silver/white(cartoon) early 90s Storm
    Silvestri 80’s Outback Psylocke
    Paul Smith 80’s Rouge
    Silvestri 80’s Outback Rouge
    Numerous 80’s Kitty Prydes
    Early 90s(cartoon) Jean Grey re-do
    Rachel Summers 1980 Phoenix
    70s/80s/Outback Havok
    70s/80s Polaris
    Classic 1960s team uniform Xmen, not the Bendis All New Xmen versions from a few years back
    Giant Sized Banshee
    Byrne/Cockrum Yellow Wolverine
    X-Factor/early 80s Angel
    Classic 70s/80s Iceman
    90s Iceman ala second version from 90s toy biz
    Marvel Girl 80s X-Factor
    80s X-factor Beast Human version
    All members of the original New Mutants
    And let’s not get started about the Age of Apocalypse versions:) 

    Neededless to say I think they still have options after 2020 and I do hope they keep the license.

    I'm reading this list and my mind is literally going: need it, need it, want it, skip it, need it, want it, don't know it, , need it... LOL!

    Great list.

    Well yeah, but it's Dazzler, a character that you'd really have to stretch to consider a B-list character. It just seems like there are a lot of higher profile characters that should get one figure before Dazzler gets two (again, though, I'm all in for this because it's the closest thing to what I want for the character, barring a full-on Silvestri costume version).

    I'll be waiting longer than you. Two of the ones on my list are Mercury and Triage. The other one is Rachel Grey though, which I would have to think is probably only a year or two away the way they're going through the A-Listers. I just hope they give us a modern bob hairdo head to go with the short Excalibur hair one it's more likely to have.

    Agreed.

    I think the reveals from yesterday are truly amazing. People are finally getting wonderful versions of characters they've always wanted. Comic Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Sinister, etc., etc., etc. Plus amazing movie figures. Truly a golden age of Legends collecting. I'm very envious and extremely tempted by many of these figures but due to space and finances I have to stick to my "cosmic/comic characters" only rule. So (cue the sad violins) this will be a sparce year for me...

    Only two cosmic figures for me, Genis (who I already have) and Beta Ray Bill ☹ Which is extremely surprising seeing as we have a two very cosmic movies coming out this year. Bizarre. Oh well, here's to hoping for some SDCC exclusuves or something.

    My two favorite Blinks are from DoFP and Gifted, so O think I might paint her hair black and turn the purple into highlights. My favorite Polaris is also from Gifted, but all the Marvel Legends with coats I stick the Polaris head onto are rather scarce.

    You mean like Paladin, Deathlok, Thundra, Hellcat, Captain Universe...and so on and so on?

    I'm super disappointed in the Beta Ray Bill. This is the Beta Ray Bill I wish they had made...

    Although I can understand that this would have been a much larger undertaking fro Hasbro because it's basically all new sculpt work from top to bottom

    I want more X-villains... A classics Hellfire Club, Merauders, Nasty Boys, Mesmero, Mojo, Spiral, Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with Blob and Pyro. Apocalype's other original Four Horsemen.

    ... I wish that Emma came in classic white outfit.

    Wolverine specific characters like Maverick, Silverfox, and Cyber.

    Definitely want an original purple costume Domino with head gear.

    Oh no, Marvel Legends is full of obscure and minor characters. I love that and Dazzler totally fits into that group. I'm just really surprised that she got TWO figures, especially in such relatively short succession.

    I feel like that would have to be some kind of online retailer exclusive. I can't see Wal-Mart wanting to stock OG Emma Frost on their shelves.

    I wouldn't mind a Generation X Emma Frost if Hasbro/retailers don't want to do her classic look. It's probably her most modest look of them all.

    So I'm thinking that if you take this Romita Sr Wolverine sculpt here ^ and swap onto it the 90s Wolverine head ...

    [​IMG]

    ...you've got yourself a pretty good Cockrum Wolverine...

    On a similar note, I would love if they did "Dazzler, Agent of SHIELD" down the line. My personal favorite look for Alison.
