Random Marvel Legends thoughts

 I understand that "civilians" don't sell as well as "superheroes", but there ARE SOME characters that NEED to exist to complete core rosters... if we can get dead characters like Green Jacket Gwen Stacy, we CAN JUST AS EASILY GET AN UNCLE BEN! I mean, we can practically make The Burglar can be made from the Stan Lee (or Netflix Danny Rand) body with new heads and accessories. If Hasbro's feeling generous a buttonless shirt body (preferably with interchangeable arms) would be useful... for say, something like a Flash Thompson figure...

Hear me out: Flash Thompson is easily a Deluxe Figure. Why a deluxe figure? Silver Age and Modern Age 2-in one figure. The figure should have interchangeable arms and legs... See the Stan Lee body. It has interchangeable legs. Add the Burglar torso suggested above and boom! Easy Flash. One Letterman jacket for silver age and the other set of arms for the modern era. For his legs we have the normal legs for Silver Age and new partially amputated legs for the modern era. Bonus if he gets symbiotic effects to plug on the legs. 

I can almost see the Lieutenant Dan customs...

Uatu... Why hasn't Hasbro made one yet? He can be easily made out of the Dormammu BAF body with some modifications, mainly new head, cape, and some overlays for torso and waist. With so many Fantastic Four love we've gotten these past few years, a Watcher is an obvious choice! I mean, it's not like I'm asking for Shuma Gorath... or a 20 inch Hasbro Pulse Galactus. Hell, even Mephisto could use the Dormammu body!! Of course he'd be a Pulse Exclusive...

We need a Ben Reilly figure... I mean a civilian Ben Reilly. I'd say using most of the Peter Parker body with JJJ's rolled sleeve arms, removable web shooters, wall crawling and thwip hands are a must. This could allow for a Peter and Elliot Tolliver repaints.

The Classic Kraven from the Kraven's last hunt pack was nice, but we still need Kraven in the black suit. He could easily come in a two pack with Vermin. speaking of Vermin, he could really use a lot of parts from Jackal.

 There is a rumor about Iron Man getting a modular armor figure soon. It would honestly be cool if he could get Marvel Superheroes inspired effects. (Repulsor blasts, unibeam... or PROTON CANNON!!)

They should keep up doing redos of hard to find figures... Warbird is one that should get revisited. (Especially in a 2 pack with Rogue). We need updated versions of Tarantula, Banshee, Daken, Iron Patriot, Rhino just to name a few.
