The Spot will be the villain to the Spider-verse sequel: a Marvel Legends rant.

 It's really good that an obscure villain like The Spot is getting some love... what worries me is that this might mean the only Marvel Legends figure of The Spot might be movie based and not Comic Book accurate. Yes, I know it's old news that The Spot was going to be the villain of that movie, but the realization that we might not get a proper Spot figure hit me just now...

And I'm going to use the Spot as an excuse to make a Spider-Man character Wishlist that removes Agony and Riot, since they got made as an Amazon exclusive with a Venom figure that comes with a half-Eddie half-Venom face.

Venom: The Madness
I know that Marvel Select did a Modular Venom with The Madness as a set of accessories. Using the Monster Venom/Deluxe big chunky Venom Body with a new Back piece and new biceps, a Madness Venom could be made. (Also that mold gets its 4th reuse or is it 5th?)

90s Kaine
I will keep asking for 90s Kaine until we get him, but I will not harass any Hasbro executives to get him... totally not a Snyderverse reference... my mom's name is not Martha. But seriously, We have Spider-Ben, we have Scarlet Spider... just give us a 90s Kaine and we'd have the Parker Brothers...

Spidercide:
He can easily use a Venom Body with a few changes...

Spider-Man: Beyond:
Before I ask for things like Chasm, who I'm not exactly a fan of, but since it is Ben Reilly, I must root for a figure of him. I think a figure of the Short-lived Beyond series would be nice to celebrate Ben Reilly before Marvel raped him.

Ben Reilly:
This is a creative mix and match figure. Using the suit body without tie torso and the JJJ arms and the Ben Reilly head (new neckpeg might be required) but this one is better suited for a 2-pack. Perhaps with a Green Goblin to recreate Spider-Man v1 issue 75...

Spider-Girl vs Brand New May 2-pack:
Yes this is an excuse to use the new pieces like double hinged elbows on a Spider-girl body. The reason I chose Spider-girl vs Spider-girl blue instead of Mayhem because of parts sharing and that Mayhem can be its own release.
The accessories would be the usual hands for both (punch, webshooting, wall crawling) for April, a set of Symbiote hands.
May gets an unmasked head with her later appearances longer hair, while April gets a Symbiote head with her hair flared out and an april head.

Spiderling 2-pack:
This 2 pack is meant to be a complement to the Spider-Man and Spinneret 2 pack. The kid Spiderling body could be reused on a Valeria Richards or a Gabby Kinney. The teen Spiderling could be the same body as Spider-girl (with the new double jointed elbows I mentioned earlier)

I think that covers all for Symbiotes and Spiders... this time I won't mention Mattie Franklin, because this list is already way too Spider-Heavy.

Doctor Octopus II:
I am referring to Carolyn Trainer. I'd prefer her 90s look, but I wouldn't mind her current look.

The Spot: (616 or SM TAS)
If it wasn't for The Spot, this rant wouldn't exist, so he DESERVES THIS SPOT... pun not intended.
He's mostly a repaint of existing figures, perhaps having a second head where a fist could be plugged in might plus up the figure. Of course this would require a portal spot that can be plugged to another figure's arm... (namely Spider-Man's).

Alistair Smythe The Ultimate Spider Slayer:
I'm going to commit blasphemy here and say that I'd prefer the Spider-Man TAS version over the comic book version.

Carrion:
The final member of Carnage's "Family" from Maximum Carnage. Nearly all the pieces to make him are available.

Shathra:
Since we have Morlun, it makes sense that we get the second Totemistic threat. 

Morbius: (TAS Version)
It's Morbin' time. All he really needs is a new head, since most of his other parts are available.


Carlyle Calamari:
While he might require some new parts, he's an interesting character from a toyetic perspective.

Digger:
Zombie Mobster Legion type of creature sounds interesting on paper. I guess they could use the Sandman BaF legs and then a new Zombified Torso, head and arms...  lends himself for a BaF in a Spidey themed wave.

Enforcers 3 pack:
Fancy Dan could reuse some Logan parts, Montana a modified Suit Body and ox could use a modified version of the Luke Cage body. 

Will O' the Wisp:
Another easy to make Classic Spidey Villain. Aside the head, they pretty much haave everything.

Molten Man:
The MCU version vas OK-ISH, but still, we need a Classic Looking version of him. 

Chameleon (TAS):
Comic Book Chameleon was a bit hard to find due to people buying multiples for Hammerhead and JJJ. Spidey retro waves could fix that by releasing Chameleon based on his Spider-Man TAS look. Added incentive, TAS Peter Parker head.

Joe Robertson:
We have JJJ, so getting Robbie makes sense. If not for JJJ, Tombstone can work with him.
