Top 20 Marvel Legends I wish were made: September 2020

With Hasbro pulling surprises left and right: Rumor has it that Hellfire Club goons are coming in the cheaper army building package. And whenever Marvel Legends stuff gets mentioned, the gears start turning. So here's a small list of the top Marvel Legends I'd like to see:

Shadowcat
While, yes, we have a more recent Kitty Pryde,  I want a Shadowcat figure, meaning of the black on the blue outfit for Kitty. We've gotten multiple looks for many characters and Kitty deserves her most popular look.

Firestar
While I'd prefer her Amazing Spider-Friends look, I wouldn't be opposed to her New Warriors look.

Whiplash
Ironman needs more comic book styled enemies. Let's face it Mickey Rourke looks out of place next to MODOK and the Mandarin. But to be fair most of toybiz figures look out of place next to Hasbro's current offerings.

Toad
This has been mentioned multiple times but Hasbro hasn't tackled one of the earliest Marvel Legends figures by toybiz. Toad needs an update ASAP!

Avalanche
We haven't gotten a classic Avalanche and says hospital already updated Pyro I think Avalanche would be a great addition to the Mystique Brotherhood of mutants.

Ka-Zar
The Not Tarzan of Marvel. Let's face it we need a new version of him because the previous attempt by Hasbro wasn't exactly great. This should include Shanna as well, but I won't fill an additional spot on the list for her... I understand that it kind of sounds like cheating but I'm trying to reduce padding.

The Mandarin
The horrible toybiz Mandarin needs to be replaced ASAP. Hasbro has figured out how to make robe bodies look good without the horrible unposable rubber suit by toy biz.

Maestro
Evil OldMan Hulk from an alternative future? Heck and yes! This has nothing to do with my toy Biz Maestro breaking apart.

Genis Vell
With Mar Vell made, Genis is just a "repaint" with a new head. Toss in an additional Rick Jones head to use on the Peter Parker or Stan Lee bodies to make a Rick Jones.

Banshee
Hasbro's previous take on him was less than stellar. He deserves a proper redo... a Siryn would be nice as well... just like Shanna, I'm not adding her to the list, officially, to reduce padding.

Thunderstrike
We already have Thunderjane, BetaRay Bill, and Thor. We kinda need the "store brand" Thor.

Conan
While Super7 gave us a Conan that is compatible with He-Man based on the older Marvel Comics version of him. We need a Conan that is compatible with Marvel Legends sayings he's running around in the Marvel Universe now.

Modular Armor Ironman
The first Male variant on this list... I'm aware that Maestro is still Bruce Banner from an alternate timeline but is not a variant of the main timeline Hulk... so technically he's a different character. There's two reasons for this variant making the list are the Marvel superheroes game and the Iron Man cartoon from the 90s... and it's a very rwquested variant, seeing we ARE getting the Silver Centurion armor.
Wonder when we'll request Extremis...

Baron Mordo:
We lack a true Baron Mordo. Sure, we have MCU Mordo, but we need a True Mordo... and a classic Doctor Strange too, but that's for a different list.

The Wizard:
The Backbone of the Frightful Four, we have plenty of characters to fill up some random versions of the frightful four but not the wizard who is in pretty much all of them.

Corsair:
We have to coax Hasbro into making the Starjammers somehow. Cyke's daddy is a nice way to start.

Lilandra:

All we need is her and Erik the Red to have Juggermaut Bitch in toy form... not gonna lie, Juggernaut Bitch is 47.3% of the reasoning for me wanting her.

Arcade:
It's ridiculous that we have pretty much everything to make him sense head and we still don't have him. But it's okay we can get the 57th Deadpool variant. I understand arcade has been branching out and tangling with more people other than the X-Men it would be nice to see him immortalized in action figure form.

Lady Deathstrike:
The plan to replace her ToyBiz toy is rather obvious. Key words: interchangeable lower arms and hands.
This would allow us to have a much better Deathstrike than the weird elongated cyber arms Deathstrike we got from toybiz.

Franklin and Valeria Richards:
I'm aware I cheated on the 20th spot by forcing 2 characters. You're probably guessing the ulterior motive for that cheating. Smaller child bodies being available for Marvel Legends... How much Power could I Pack in such bodies? Half. The other half would need teen bodies.

Holy crap I think I just did 20 figures without adding Spidey stuff
