I made a Spider-Man related list, so I guess it's time for the X-Men:
Bone Claw Wolverine: (Feral)
This figure would be a kitbash combining pieces from previous Wolverines and the Jackal. The only new piece would be the Head.
Gabby Kinney:
There's a reason for me to push a smaller kid buck... (Katie Power, Valeria Richards, AMP, and Gabby) with some creative use of overlays all of these young girls could be made from a base body.
Longshot:
We got Dazzler and Shatterstar we KINDA need a new Longshot, since ToyBiz scale is a bit weird.
Spiral:
While the Spiral from the Hasbro dark ages is a decent figure, an updated version would be nice.
Classic Apocalypse:
The Hasbro Apocalypse BAF is pretty good, but a Classic Colors repaint would be better.
New X-Men Cyclops:
A Xorn Redo will be eventually asked for, pre-making some of his parts with Cyclops... and Cyke would go well with the Kitbashed NXM Wolverine that will appear on this list.
Psykocke: (Armored Betsy)
We already got a Kwannon Psylocke, so we kinda need a Pre-body swap Betsy.
Lilandra:
We got a tease with Mystique, but like Hammerhead, we need a proper figure...
Banshee:
Hasbro needs another Redemption Round with Banshee.
New X-Men Wolverine:
Kitbash figure with zero new parts. Saving some money for 100% newly tooled figures like Spiral mentioned above.
Daken:
I don't mean a redo of Wannabe Wolverine Daken, but Daken's own outfit.
Brotherhood Rogue:
Rogue from the time she was part of the Brotherhood. This is also part of a plan to bring back a Ms. Marvel reissue by putting this Rogue and Ms. Marvel in a box set.
Avalanche:
I guess the Hyperion body with a few new parts could give us Avalanche
Toad:
20+ years we've been waiting for a Toad redo. He would need to be close to 100% new parts.
Blob:
With Hasbro's improvements in engineering and sculpt on 1:12 scale, we deserve an improved Blob... with some creative reuse on certain parts a GLA Big Bertha could be doable.
Genesis:
Cable's kid who hrew up to become an Apocalypse wannabe... I mainly want him for a Wolverine 100 display.
Marrow: (same outfit used in MVC2)
She's had multiple looks and outfits and could mostly be made from a standard female body with a new upper torso and maybe arms.
Team X Logan:
This would be a Wolverine body with extra slip-on and new parts to recreate the Team X look. He'd be part of a 4 pack with Maverick, Sabretooth, and Omega Red with a brand spanking new Carbonadium Synthesizer.
Team X Creed:
Hyperion body with Sabretooth and new parts to make a Team X accurate Creed to be a piece of a 4 pack with Emilio Garra, Maverick, and Omega Red.
Nick Fury: (as seen in UXM 274)
This is like a Ridiculously 90s Nick Fury with pouches and belts all over the place, a Gambit-like skullcap, and did I mention more guns than Cable and Punisher combined. It literally looks like a gunshow and Hot Topic puked all over Nick Fury.
Honorable Mentions:
Mimic:
Based on his earlier appearances that copied Scott, Hank, and Warren.
Headmistress Frost: (Generation X)
I also want to sneak in Geberation X into the line, but other characters had higher priority. She's mostly a kitbash.
Onslaught and Xavier 2-pack:
This one is a cheap cop out. Basically a translucent black body with a translucent Xavier head and a redo of the Onslaught BAF with a slightly different repaint. Darker reds and purples than the Redskull Onslaught. It has ZERO new parts.
Bobby Drake: (unfrozen)
Repaint of Iceman with a new unfrozen head. Budget saving, but valid variant.
Belladonna:
Gambit's ex and leader of the Assassins Guild has tons of issues with a few X-Men.
Skin:
A slim body with the Mr. Fantastic creepy fingers and weapon X feet with a new head makes for a perfect Angelo Espinoza.
Husk:
Husk could have the honor of being a "Multi-Figure" like the Cuckoos or Moonstar. Most of her accessories would be swapped skins for Paige, but she'd get a Gaia head.
Quicksilver: (Brotherhood Green)
Easy repaint of Quicksilver based on his time in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Jean Grey: (X-Factor)
Retro Wave Cyclops is in his X-Factor outfit. We need a Jean to match.
Cable: (Yellow and Blue uniform)
The Hyperion body and some Cable parts are the recipe for this Cable. Yes, MVC2 is a huge reason for this variant, otherwise I'd be happy with Sasquatch wave Cable.
I know it's a bit weird that variants are populating the main list wild new characters are populating The Honorable list. That's mainly because the X-Men being very heavy in most Marvel Legends lines. For every Exodus, or Cypher, you get 3 Wolverines, 2 Cyclopses, 4 Storms, and 3 Beasts
