Hasbro knocked it out of the park with the recent Marvel Legends reveals. they managed to get a few characters that I really wanted and after these huge reveals I tend to make list. Last time I made a list of General Marvel Legends without Spidey stuff and now it's time for the Spidey stuff. so let's get ready for 30 Spidey related characters/ variants that I would like to see in Marvel Legends.
30: Lady Octopus:
Female + Tentacles... What's not to love here and no, I'm not making hentai references here.
29: Evil That Men Do Black Cat:
Do you remember the Bea Arthur looking ToyBiz figure? Do you remember the Beautiful Marvel Select statue? What I'd like is for Hasbro to make something closer to the Marvel Select statue than the Bea Arthur figure by ToyBiz.
28: Hammerhead:
While The Chameleon allowed us to have a fake Hammerhead we deserve to have the real figure and the real bulk that the character has. That chameleon disguise looks too scrawny.
27: Spider Armor:
First Spider-Man variant on this list. It's a classic costume that has been requested quite often... also what I'm going to say goes against my principles but I kind of want him vac Metalized. Yes I'm well aware of my previous statements regarding vac metal. You have to admit that a spider armor would look freaking sweet if it had a reflective metal look to it. With that said it doesn't have to be vac metal; I'm just saying that it would look cool despite my hatred of vac metal.
26: Rocket Racer:
If we got Night Thrasher with his skateboard, then Rpcket Racer should be easy...
25: J. Jonah Jameson:
While I have a custom figure made from the MCU Klaw, we deserve an official release of good old Jolly Jonah.
24: Teresa Parker:
Because Female + Wings + guns adds some degree of eccentricity to SHIELD displays. Also she's Spidey's long-lost kid sister.
23: Alistair Smythe, Ultimate Spider-Slayer:
Since we've got a classic Kingpin in the Retro wave I've been itching for an animated series inspired ultimate Slayer Alistair Smythe...
22: Joe Robertson:
I'm trying to keep civilian figures to a minimum but since I suggested JJJ we do need a Robbie. Then there's also Tombstone who has a beef with him so we could use them in displays with Tombstone.
21:Carrion:
Decaying clone of the jackal hos main reason for being on this list is called it Maximum Carnage.
20: Shriek:
Same reason as Carrion, she would complete team Carnage for Maximum Carnage displays.
19: Classic Molten Man:
We got MCU Molten Man, who was rather underwhelming. I know that comic book version isn't that great either but it's a classic Spider-Man character that we need.
18: Spidercide:
I know everybody hates the clone saga but since we are already have Scarlet Spider and spider been we need some clone bad guys.
17:Darkdevil:
Yes, I'm giving Spider-Girl some love, by having her cousin. He would come with a May Parker head for the Hobgoblin wave Spider-Girl and a couple of hands for her.
16: Green Goblin (Normie Osborn)
Like Darkdevil before him this is just to pad out the Spider Girl side of things.
15: Spiderling:
Yes I'm slowly expanding the spider verse. The idea it's to use some of the variance alternate universe Spider-Man I'm having key characters from different universes to mix and match.
14: Bombastic Bagman:
Again another Spider-Man variant that I keep pushing for.
13: Hobo Doc Ock:
Originally I was going to suggest a realistic proportions Doctor Octopus based on Humberto Ramos's art, but THERE IS A CLASSIC HOBO DOC OCK!!
If Hasbro plays their cards right, they could make this a two-in-one figure being the hobo Doctor Octopus and the classic Doctor Octopus at the same time. I'm thinking of a chest overlay kinda like the vest on MCU Klaw.
12: Eddie Brock:
Yes, I know what I said about Civilian figures, but with enough swappable symbiote parts, he can be justified.
We need a Brock inside the symbiote mouth so badly...
11: The Spot:
Despite being considered a lame villain when used incorrectly, THE Spot has gained some popularity. He's also rather easy to make for Hasbro.
10: Riot:
We recently God fade and the last two remaining symbiotes from the Life Foundation are Riot and Agony.
I don't want them to suffer separation anxiety... see what I did there?
9: Agony:
Like I stated above with Riot we need her to complete the Life Foundation symbiotes... I hope you're reading symbiote as Sim Bee Oat and not Sim Buy Oat...
8: Ezekiel:
White Morlun and the rest of the inheritors are not on this list, I kinda added some relevance to the Spider-Army. I also kind of like Ezekiel so that's why I'm adding him to the list. I wanted to have the 8th spot to be filled by somebody with spider powers for obvious reasons.
7: Trapster:
While he also is a pain in the ass for the Fantastic Four he has Tangled a few times with the wall crawler. And I'd rather have him as the Trapster instead of Paste Pot Pete...
6: Kingpin: Black Suit:
Honestly, this is a trick to sneakily add a Jimmy-6 to the line-up. I know he isn't a HUGE character... no pun intended, but he was one of the few friends Ben Reilly had. The idea is to sell a Kingpin variant, but like Chameleon, the Cuckoos, or Dani Moonstar is to allow for Additional characters to be made. On his own, Jimmy wouldn't necessarily sell, but being an added option for Kingpin, might make the Kingpin more enticing.
5: Marvel's Scorpia:
Padding the Sinister Syndicate a bit slowly because reasons. Also, Female + Scorpion...
4: Takuya Yamashiro: Supaidaman:
Yes, The Emissary from Hell, Supaidaman. Personally, he shpuld be made using a modified Lightning collection body. (New waist, lower legs, forearms, head) The reasons for this are many:
-He'd be on a super sentai body, which is a nod to his Japanese origins.
-The Super Sentai body would be more accurate than the Marvel Legends comic book-styled bodies.
-The modified Super Sentai body could be reused for an Alex Ross styled Spider-Man.
-He'd also be compatible with Lightning collection, so you can have a crossover that never happened.
Bonus fact: the number for sounds a lot like the word for death in Japanese is Spider-Man is the Emissary from hell I thought he'd be appropriate for the number four spot.
3: Madame Web:
Spider-Man the Animated Series had an into the spider verse long before the comics or the into the spider verse movie. She would be a deluxe character due to her life support system but she would make a great display piece in addition to the spare Juggernaut we now have thanks to the Colossus 2 pack. And to make her extra worthwhile we could toss in a few heads and accessories that could spruce up some Spider-Man figures. For example: black suit Spidey repaint of the spider sense head from the Peter Parker figure. maybe adding web shooting hands, wall crawling hands, and fists for the Peter Parker figure.
Heck they could even toss a normal unmasked Felicia Hardy had to use on the black cat figures or on Moira McTaggart.
2: Power and Responsibility 3 pack:
You knew I would have to cheat somewhere. I tend to do so on these lists. And let's be honest the only way I could sneak in Aunt May and Uncle Ben would be in a 3 pack including THE Burglar.
Aunt May and Uncle Ben would most likely, require new sculpts. The burglar, in a worst-case scenario, could be made using the Stan Lee buck with new hands and head. Heck, I would add parts to use some of the "suit bodies" to make a Captain George Stacy.
1: Kaine: 90s look:
You had to expect this one. Other than Power Pack and the upcoming Firestar, 90s Kaine is one of my most wanted Legends figures.
Honorable mentions:
-Tarantula:
That previous release of this character was a bit on the crappy side. This needs to be fixed!
- retro series Hobgoblin:
This would be basically a re-release of the previews hobgoblin without the demonic macendale Goblin pieces. Instead he would get extra heads based on Roderick Kingsley and Ned Leeds.
-Wild Pack Sandman:
I know his Non civilian outfit is ridiculous but we kind of need it.
-Ben Reilly:
Maybe it was to basically do I repaint of the Peter Parker figure with a new head that doesn't require the nerdy glasses to have a Ben Reilly figure. I was thinking something along the lines off black jacket red shirt and darker blue jeans. With normal Spider-Man hands instead of the Peter Parker camera hands. Thoughts in three additional heads and call it a day. The extra heads would be:
2 Spider-sense heads:
One brunette Ben with the Scarlet Spider half face, the second one would be blond Ben with the spider Ben half face. that way most of the iterations of the character are covered. The only one that isn't covered is Jackal Ben.
-Jackpot:
That it's totally Mary Jane but then it wasn't Mary Jane character is a weird choice, but if deadpool got the Chicle chick, askingfor Jackpot isn't that weird. What's not to like about a Mary Jane wanna be wearing an outfit so gaudy that even disco Dazzler would be like: dude that's too much!
-Spider-man 2099:
Ever since we got the white suit Spider-Man 2099 I've been itching for a classic Miguel O'Hara in that new body. Also I would like to have a Miguel with extra hands and a second head that showcases Miguel O'Hara's unmasked face.
-Araña: First Appearance Outfit:
While yes, we got Anya Sofia Corazon as the other Spider-Girl, we still need her as Araña. Also there would be the perfect excuse to throw a couple of unmasked has one for Araña the other for Anya the other Spider-Girl.
