The recently released Kingpin wave has made me crave for some 80's and 90's Marvel goodness... Not to mention some odd choices of characters.
I also know that the X-Men wave for 2019 has Gambit beast and 90s Jubilee... not to mention Forge and also there's Logan as the Weapon X.
We need to replace the Marvel Legends series 8 Storm from toybiz with a Hasbro made on a silvery gray 90 suit.
That we all pretty much know since I keep mentioning it every time I get a chance.
One of the odd ideas I had was a box set: Bugle under attack! A 5 figure set with key staff of the Daily Bugle.
The Klaue body is ripe for a J. Jonah Jameson redo... or first do, since a Chameleon head is not Jolly Jonah.
The suit body could be used for Robbie... We HAVE Tombstone, so there is a reason for Robbie.
Third Bugle staff member would be Betty Brant. Basically using most of the Man-Thing wave Jessica Jones figure and a short-haired Black Widow head from the legendary Riders. Why Betty? Glad I figure that is female and since she was a key member of the Buell that could be displayed with old school Peter or new school Flash Thompson Agent Venom.
Fourth figure of the set with obviously be Peter Parker which again could be made with many of their civilian clothes figures that are available. To make this Peter a bit more special I would toss in a second head with half Peter half Spidey face used on the comics at times. (Not mandatory)
Now the Villain attacking the Bugle is the toughest part of this. I could go for a repaint, like a Classic colors Electro, or Shocker... but that's not Special enough...
I wanna suggest any of the following Characters that require little to zero new tooling:
Doc Ock with lab coat
Rhino
A True Hammerhead
Hydroman
Carnage
Hobgoblin
There's also a certain Legendary Rider that I'd like to see
Smythe with Hoverchair...
So the theoretical 80s/90s goodness isn't over.
Like sprinkling some 80s and 90s favorites into waves.
Like say: 90s Storm, Jim Lee Cyclops with Leather Jacket, Modular Armor Ironman, Armored Daredevil, Generation X, black suit Kaine... stuff like that.
Even Bone Claws Wolverine would be nice to see.
