Longshot crazy wishful thought, I know but here me out: maybe the reason a tan suit version of Wolverine wasn't part of the anniversary 2-packs so far is that Hasbro hopefully will be doing an anniversary set in 2024 for the 40th anniversary of Secret Wars and he's part of that... along with Titania, Volcana and a host of other figures comic costume-accurate and homages to the Mattel toys.
@beamish If nothing else it would be a good excuse for them to get classic Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Spider-Man back on the shelves. Always good to get the A-listers back out there.
But yeah I hope we get the rest of the Secret Wars main cast after all these years. Titania, Volcana, classic green costume Rogue, and Wasp in purple and green. The Wrecking Crew and Absorbing Man could use updates as well. If they're celebrating the toyline in particular they could finally do a classic Falcon too.
And if we're dreaming, it would be cool to get a Zsaji figure. Maybe in a 2 pack with Deadpool thanks to that retcon series?

MCU Sandman would work for Swarm, right? Or would people not like that texture?
This isn't a terrible thought, except the MCU figures are smaller in size than the comic figures and it seems like Swarm might feel a bit underwhelming on that body. But given the lack of reuse options for a brand new Swarm body they might be tempted to do it anyway. I mean, technically the guy's "body" is just made up of bees anyway, so it can really be any size and be "right".

I think it’s gonna be Wolverine and Spidey in their FF uniforms to go with Franklin and Valeria.
That would be awesome, but I don't recall a tease that would tie to it. Seems to be the consensus though.
I'm thinking it's something Phoenix-related due to the flame effect. Maybe Old Man Phoenix? Certainly an out-there prediction but you never know...
I do recall that being teased but can't remember when/where - maybe they said something during the livestream when they unveiled the Franklin/Val 2-pack?

Sandman is a little smaller than I'd hoped/pictured, but yes - and the texture is more important to me in Swarm, I think, than build? Anway, I proof-of-concepted with parts I had lying around. 🙂 He needs a cool, McFarlane-esque billowing cape, but could work.

Is it small enough for a FA Iceman? Never seen his scale comparison.
Didn't one of the guys allude to an anniversary-type offering that might have a 3-pack during one of the cons? If so, this could be it.
Wolverine repaint, maybe some new pinless parts.
Cap repaint.
Bomber jacket Widow without the bomber jacket, maybe swap in the Anniversary Widow parts.
I hate buying multi-packs like that, especially when I'm happy with what I already own. That said, I could see all three of those figures being upgrades. A whole shield for Cap, Widow in a better costume (I said what I said), and pinless Wolverine.
I would want that Widow for my Daredevil display. Gene Colan cat suit / hair beret version goes on Avengers or SHIELD shelf

It would be perfect timing to release that Widow without the jacket since I'm in the midst of making my own custom version of her.
I am holding off right now from buying a figure just for her hair to make Vol. 3 Gamora because I know the exact thing will happen!!
