More great choices!
And Unicorn, Melter, Blizzard, and Force all appeared in fairly recent Iron Man comics, too. They are still relevant.
@h-bird Dark Riders would be amazing! I forgot Shatterstar had a cool 2.0 costume too.
@akatsuki I loved Cantwell's run! I wouldn't mind a Halcyon figure either.
Yeah Melter would also be most welcome.
How about we just get Hasbro to give us a few dedicated villains waves? I'm still waiting for the Frightful Four, Red Ghost and his Apes, Diablo and that's barely scratching the surface of my FF villains. Then there's all the Avengers, Iron Man, DD and all the rest of the Marvel Comics villains I want to see made. I love all the heroes but they need somebody to punch, from time to time.
What's wrong with the green skinned Mandarin? That's how he looks in the 90s Iron Man cartoon.@hbhfback I would love to get that version of Mandarin with no green face. I agree that most of his costumes haven't been that great. But it's criminal that Hasbro hasn't done something with the character all these years. If they are worried about the pc climate dominating social media these days, just put him on fan channel along with a few other essential characters. Like Man-Ape, Mesphisto, etc...
Back to Iron Man
Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man like the Select versions but Marvel Legends scale.
Blacklash
These four are my biggest wants for Iron Man foes. Come on Hasbro knock a few of these out!

He never had green skin in the comics, so if you're a comic fan then you'd rather have him with flesh-colored skin. Personally I have no attachment to the cartoon so I wouldn't be interested in the green skin.
But ideally they would just put both versions of his head and hands in the box and make everyone happy at once!
@renfield75 So two alternate heads and hands for Mandarin, one green skin, and the other flesh colored skin, best of both worlds.
Yup, “cartoon”-style Mandarin with alternate flesh tone head/hands would be ideal.

Nailed it! I'm a comic fan, not a fan of the cartoon.

Same same. I just want a classic, comic accurate Mandarin figure in one of his pre-21st century looks.
In the absolutely perfect ideal world, I'd like a new Mandarin to just be a redo of the exact same look the ToyBiz ML had with cloth robes. That's his best look, in my opinion. However, Hasbro typically doesn't do cloth (and when they do it usually isn't great) so that probably isn't happening.
I really like the costume that the Iron Man 2 figure had. I'm not sure where it comes from (if anywhere), but I like how it keeps the flare of the robed costume while not being quite so leg impeding.
Here's an idea, 90s animated Mandarin for the Iron Man retro carded wave, and a comic book Mandarin for an Iron Man Build-A-Figure wave. I think collectors wound want the same costume as the Face-Off 2-pack figure from the Toybiz years.
Have any of the talented cloth goods customizers taken a crack at a Mandarin robe a la the Face Off version? I'd buy that up in a heartbeat.
