Watched all of Echo tonight, it was absolutely fantastic, and I really hope Hasbro makes a figure of Maya at some point this year. Ideally based on the final episode, but I wouldn't be apposed to one of her in the leather jacket with her logo on it... assuming they then also do a second figure of her based on the final episode, lol. I also really hope we see more of her in the MCU in the coming years, but that's a discussion for a different thread.
You can also count me in for a comic-based figure of her, so I can put her in with my little display of Avengers, but that can wait for next year.
@wil Ugh, I can't wait to see what her final costume looks like. I'm only three in so far, but right now I'd be happy with a figure of her in the leather jacket with that design on the chest. I still wouldn't mind a figure of her from hawkeye either:
And of course the concept art went more comic booky, if Hasbro ever wants to do figures of MCU concepts:
Dan Yun made a guest appearance on Boog's Figgy Awards podcast 2 weeks ago with the following teases:
"In 2024 we will actually have a couple of mega deluxe multi packs"
"In 2024 we're actually gonna be leaning into three anniversary programs."

Well let the speculation commence! I wonder what he means by mega deluxe multi packs. Could it mean more figures than usual? Something like the old DCUC Legion of Super Heroes multi pack? Maybe it's a classic 80s New Mutants pack with all of them in it! One can dream.
Maybe the second is a New Warriors pack where we finally get the classic Marvel Boy and Namorita along with some re-releases and maybe a Silhouette?
Who is due up for an anniversary program this year?
Quick Google search, I'm sure I'm missing some heavy hitters:
1964 - 60th Anniversary:
Daredevil
Black Widow
Owl
Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch
Hawkeye
Wonder Man
Sif
Kang
Masters of Evil
1974 - 50th Anniversary, besides Wolverine:
Iron Fist
Punisher
Colleen Wing
Deathlok
1984 - 40th Anniversary:
Secret Wars
Power Pack
Venom
Forge
Doug Ramsey & Warlock
@beamish if they are doing 3 anniversary programs and one is Wolverine then I'd bet on the other two being Daredevil and Secret Wars.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.
Secret Wars celebrating the comic and the toy line, although it was Mattel's at the time. They can work in Titania, Volcana, Beyonder, updated Wrecking Crew, Secret Wars costumes for Wasp, Rogue, She-Hulk, etc, and updates to Falcon, Constrictor and others from the Mattel line.
They could fold Widow into a DD retro/BAF set to celebrate both of their 60th anniversaries, like Miller gray suit Widow without the Avengers bomber jacket.
Classic Iron Fist will probably show up, too. Maybe an Iron Fist/Colleen Wing 2-pack.
Or they could throw us for a loop and do a Power Pack 4-pack!
Daredevil, Secret Wars, and Iron Fist make the most sense to me.
If Wolverine is one of the anniversaries, I'm betting the other two will be the 30th anniversary of "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" and the 40th anniversary of "Secret Wars". That said, I would LOVE a Daredevil anniversary wave. I'm hoping that if we do get a "Secret Wars" wave, we'll at least get the original eight (Captain America, Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, Iron Man, Kang, Magneto, Spider-Man and Wolverine, respectively), though I'd also love to see characters like Hulk, Thor, Colossus, Rogue, Cyclops, the Absorbing Man, Titania, Volcana and the Absorbing Man get new figures. It'd also be nice to get a new non-exclusive Lizard figure everyone can find.
I know it won't be the Punisher ... and that's a shame.
It's also the 30th anniversary of Alex Ross' Marvels and Generation X.
If it's Generation X I'd be hype. Emma, Husk, Synch, Skin, and Penance please.
@stuartgreen which is why I always thought it was weird they did the Spider-Man animated line last year, and not this year. I think it's done, but maybe? It kind of takes the wind out of the anniversary if you announce a line continuation rather than a brand new one. There are certainly plenty of characters they could still mine from that show, but the same was true of the X-Men one which didn't continue past 8 figures similar to Spider-Man. They probably should at least do a 30th anniversary Spider-Man since so many had trouble tracking down the Walmart exclusive. It would also be a chance to put him on a larger mold since the Walmart figure is almost comically small for the source material.
Last Year was Maximum Carnage's 30th anniversary, maybe they'll do something as a late tribute, for that?
