Ideas for a MARVEL SUPERHEROES Deluxe sub-line for Legends

 Haveyou seen the upcoming 20 years of Legends Captain America? It looks pretty cool, well... how about making a pair of Marvel Superheroes themed "waves" to celebrate the game... 

So, here's what I'd do if I was in charge:

Captain America:
20th Cap would be the base. Remove the straps from that figure. Remove the Steve Rogers head and pulled back mask. Remove the current shield effects and replace them with ones that mimic the Charging Star move.
Add the older plain shield and shield tossing hand.

Ironman:
Modular Ironman from the Ursa wave would be the base figure. He would need a new Torso overlay to simulate the Smart Bombs move, Proton Cannon with stand, Unibeam with stand. Extra game version of the repulsor blast (in addition to the existing toy versions)

Juggernaut:
Base would be Juggernaut from the Colossus 2 pack. Removing the beaten up head and broken helmet. I would add an extra head with effects from the Juggernaut Headcrush, and broken floor effects, bent steel beam from his intro, random piece of floor from one of his specials.

Wolverine:
Love Triangle Wolverine is the perfect base figure. To make him slightly different, let's give him the X-Force Wolverine claws. I would add extra hands with slashing effects. One set would be slashing down, the other would be slashing up. He would have the existing pulled back mask with a new Logan head.

Magneto:
The base would be the Magneto from the Magneto, Quicksilver, and Wanda 3 pack, with an additional head without his helmet. His "deluxe accessories" will mostly be effect pieces. Things like his magnetic forcefield from the intro, his other attacks. Maybe even reuse the unibeam stand for the EM disruptor, Hyper Grav, and Magnetic tempest attacks.
An extra cape would be nice. Preferably one based on his victory pose.

Psylocke:
Personally I would prefer a brand new body based on the game, but Retro wave Black Cat could work as an acceptable substitute. Head and accessories could come from her Apocalypse wave version. I'd give her hands based on her game stance in addition to fists and gripping hands. Have 2 psi-knives, the stand for a Psi-blast. Sadly, I couldn't figure out how to make a Kochou Gakure 

Hulk:
80th Anniversary Hulk would be great from the neck down. He would require a new "Smart Hulk" head. Reusing the floor debris from Juggernaut seems like a smart idea. The gamma crush is logistically undoable, so Hulk's extra deluxe stuff would be accessories for other figures. A shield for Ironman, the Eagle for Cap, webline with camera for Spidey, etc.

Spider-Man:
Can we say Retro Wave Spider-Man with a big eyed head? Toss in the web effects from other Spidey figures like the web line, and webbed effects. Add a Spider-signal stand, web ball projectile with stand, a Spider-sense tingling head, a head with speech bubble with interchangeable taunts.

Blackheart:
The first new sculpt in the wave. The accessories would be mostly effects pieces and unarticulated demonic minions. This is due to most of his basic moves being nearly impossible to make for a $30 action figure.

Shuma-Gorath: 
Like Blackheart, many of his moves are nearly impossible and it's kinda hard to "deluxe up" a figure like him. So, a stand for his mystic stare attack, and a Mystic Smash form would be "his accessories". To fill up the slot, I'd add most of the effect pieces from Thanos...

Doctor DOOM: 

Thanos: 
The previous "Classic Thanos" repainted in MSH colors, but with plenty of extra hands for his special moves (some of them coming with Shuma-Gorath)... what would make this Thanos deluxe is the addition of a Terraxia figure.

There you have it. I tried to make the game justice as best as I could.
